Democrat Jon Ossoff wins reelection to U.S. Senate from Georgia
Ossoff held a money and polling edge in a race shaped by Trump, tariffs and personal attacks.
On Tuesday, Democrat Senator Jon Ossoff won the Georgia Senate race, defeating Republican Congressman Mike Collins in a nationally watched contest.
Ossoff secured an early advantage and maintained a significant lead throughout the campaign, holding a critical seat for Democrats in the battleground state.
Candidates clashed over the national political atmosphere, as Collins defended Trump's tariff regime and the war in Iran, while Ossoff criticized the economic impact of "That Bidenomics."
The race turned personal, with Ossoff citing alleged associations between Collins's son-in-law and white nationalists, while Collins questioned contributions to a pro-Ossoff PAC from billionaire Reid Hoffman.
Ossoff's dominant national profile sparked speculation about a 2028 presidential run, though he confirmed during a debate that he intends to serve a full second term in the Senate.
