Ossoff says "zero interest in running for president" in Georgia debate
Sen. Jon Ossoff and Republican challenger Mike Collins traded attacks over the 2020 election and alleged connections to white nationalists. Ossoff also pushed back on speculation that he could run for president in 2028.
Incumbent Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff and Republican Rep. Mike Collins faced off in a heated Senate debate on Tuesday, discussing issues ranging from the Iran war to the 2020 election results. Ossoff emphasized his lack of interest in running for president in 2028, reaffirming his commitment to serving the people of Georgia for a full six-year term.
Both candidates continued their personal attacks from the previous debate, with Collins alleging that Ossoff is an out-of-touch politician with ties to white nationalism and neo-Nazi ideology. Ossoff countered these claims, arguing that Collins is part of the Washington establishment and has voted for policies that make life less safe and more expensive for Georgians.
