Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.) warned Friday that if Democrats regain control of Congress in the midterms, they will 'rebuke' President Trump decisively for the remainder of his term. Speaking at a rally in Georgia, Ossoff said his party would not merely restore checks and balances but ensure 'no president will dare try this kind of brazen corruption and abuse again for centuries.'
Ossoff, who is running for reelection against Rep. Mike Collins (R-Ga.), has frequently criticized Trump over financial dealings and election claims. He accused the president of 'reairing grievances' about the 2020 election, which Trump lost to President Biden. Ossoff also referenced Trump's recent claim that China accessed U.S. voter rolls, calling it a distraction from national issues.
Decision Desk HQ (DDHQ) gives Democrats a 42% chance of flipping the Senate and a 61% chance of retaking the House. To gain Senate control, Democrats must retain their 47 seats and flip four Republican-held seats.
Meanwhile, Ossoff's national profile has grown, with some strategists speculating about a potential 2028 presidential run. Trump has targeted Ossoff, including giving him a nickname on Truth Social. Democratic pollster Adam Carlson joked on X that Ossoff's political rise began with Trump's recent address.
Ossoff's campaign has focused on turning Trump's attacks into political opportunities, with strategists noting his discipline and willingness to confront the former president.
