Senator Jon Ossoff, a Democrat, and his Republican opponent, Representative Mike Collins, recently faced off in a debate. During the debate, Ossoff called Collins a bigot, while Collins referred to Ossoff as a radical "trust-fund kid."

The two candidates clashed on various issues, including tariffs, taxes, and immigration. According to Newsweek, Collins stated his plan to help make life more affordable for Georgians by continuing to be energy independent and exporting goods out of the port in Savannah.
