Jon Ossoff’s revealing posts |
Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA), who won an early 2021 runoff election after President Donald Trump lost his state in the previous November’s election, is up for reelection this year. He’s considered one of the most vulnerable Senate Democrats up in the 2026 election cycle, though he’s likely feeling fortunate that popular Gov. Brian Kemp (R-GA) decided to pass on the race. The incumbent has shown few signs of moderation, even in a purplish-red state, and has been rewarded by the progressive base. His campaign has been showered with financial donations, allowing Ossoff to enter what will be a bruising and expensive election year with a substantial $25 million war chest.
Ossoff, like many national Democrats, has been outspoken about recent events in Minneapolis. He has focused, unsurprisingly, on criticisms of federal law enforcement, with little to no apparent interest in condemning the roving mobs of organized agitators who have been criminally interfering in lawful federal operations. He has denounced the operations themselves, which are carrying out federal laws passed by the body in which he serves, as a manifestation of “wickedness.” In the same partisan sermon, he described immigration enforcement in the most demagogic of terms, asking how “masked federal agents” can be permitted to “set up checkpoints in American cities, demand papers, rip people from their cars … kill?” Ossoff shared multiple videos of these clips on his X account.
