  "account": "US Democrat Jon Ossoff, a 39-year-old senator from Georgia, is drawing large crowds and enthusiastic responses at his campaign events. He is known for his eloquence, charm, and relatability, which has earned him a reputation as a rising star in his party. Ossoff is currently defending his Senate seat in the midterm elections, which is crucial for the Democrats' chances of gaining a majority in the US Senate. His state, Georgia, was narrowly won by Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election. Ossoff has denied ambitions to run for president in 2028, despite some speculation.",
  "summary": "Donald Trump is as unpopular as hardly any president before him - and yet a Democratic victory is far from certain. This is primarily due to the party itself.",
