Democrat Jon Ossoff Wins Georgia Senate Reelection, Defeating Trump-Backed OpponentPreviousNext

Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff won reelection in Georgia, defeating Republican Mike Collins, who was endorsed by former President Donald Trump. Ossoff's victory preserves a key Democratic Senate seat in a state Trump won in 2024, contributing to Democrats' efforts to regain Senate control. Ossoff, the youngest senator and a potential 2028 presidential candidate, raised significantly more campaign funds than Collins, who faced a contested Republican primary. The race was closely watched as part of the 2026 US midterm elections.
