Democrat Jon Ossoff wins re-election to Senate in Georgia

Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff is projected to have won re-election in Georgia, defeating Republican challenger Mike Collins and pushing the crucial swing state deeper into Democratic control, CBS News reports.

Ossoff, a rising star in the Democratic Party, portrayed his opponent as loyal to a “failed president” and made the rising cost of living a central issue in the campaign. Georgia, a key swing state, voted for Donald Trump in 2024.

Collins had blamed rising cost of living on former President Joe Biden and defended his support for Trump’s war in Iran.

With polls suggesting Ossoff held a solid lead in the race, Republicans had diverted resources from Georgia to other contests.
