Jon Ossoff wins re-election in Georgia Senate race
Democratic Sen.
Jon Ossoff won re-election in Georgia against Republican Rep.
Mike Collins.
The race drew national attention because both parties saw the seat as important to Senate control earlier in the election cycle.
Collins had President Donald Trump’s backing, while Ossoff tied him to Trump and attacked his connections to people who had shared racist or white nationalist material.
Collins said he opposed racism and white nationalism.
Ossoff had a major fundraising advantage and led in most public polling, while the campaign also debated the economy, tariffs and the Iran war.
Ossoff said he would serve a full second term, though his win has prompted speculation about a possible 2028 presidential run.
Jon Ossoff won re-election to the US Senate in Georgia, defeating Republican challenger Mike Collins.
The Associated Press called the race at 7:55 p.m. on November 3, according to Nikkei Asia.
Ossoff’s victory held a key Democratic seat in a state Donald Trump won in 2024.
Ossoff made the economy and affordability central campaign issues, while Collins criticized his votes to block some weapons sales to Israel.
The race had been considered important to Democrats’ hopes of gaining control of the Senate.
