Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff wins Georgia reelection, CBS News projects
CBS News projects that Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff will win reelection in Georgia, defeating Republican Rep. Mike Collins. Tony Dokoupil anchors special coverage.
In a significant victory for Democrats, Senator Jon Ossoff secured reelection in Georgia on Tuesday, according to media projections. The Democratic senator triumphed over Republican US representative Mike Collins, who was endorsed by President Donald Trump. The win underscores Democrats' ability to defend a crucial battleground state, which Trump carried by just 2 percentage points in the 2024 election.
Ossoff's campaign raised an impressive $126 million more than Collins, who received $18 million in outside spending following a three-way Republican primary and runoff. While Republicans entered the elections with a 53-47 Senate majority, Democrats needed a net gain of four seats to take control. To achieve this, Democrats would have to hold onto seats in Georgia and Michigan, flip Republican-held seats in Maine and North Carolina, and secure at least two more seats from states Trump won by double digits in 2024, such as Ohio, Alaska, Iowa, Texas, and others.
