- The win renewed speculation about Ossoff’s political future.

## Summary

Democrat Jon Ossoff won re-election to the US Senate in Georgia, defeating Republican Mike Collins by a wide margin, according to CNN’s projection. His victory drew national attention beyond the state, as his sharp attacks on Donald Trump turned a race seen as relatively safe into a prominent midterm story and fuelled speculation about Ossoff’s future in the party.

The 39-year-old senator rose to prominence after his narrow 2020 runoff win helped Democrats secure control of the Senate. During this campaign, he criticised the administration over inflation, tariffs, health care cuts, immigration enforcement and the war in Iran, while Trump mocked Ossoff’s appearance and makeup. Ossoff’s attacks spread online, attracted donations and drew attention from Hollywood figures; he has said he is not seeking the presidency.
