Washington Post: Publicly, Republicans in the state and in Washington continue to list Georgia as their top pickup opportunity in the Senate as they defend their 53-seat majority in a midterm year in which their party faces fierce political headwinds. Donald Trump won the state by more than two percentage points in 2024, and Republicans have painted Ossoff as too liberal for Georgia.
But behind closed doors, Republicans have tamped down their hopes of unseating the 39-year-old powerhouse fundraiser as he seeks another term. Theyre lamenting their bitterly divided primary field made worse by a recruiting failure when popular Republican Gov. Brian Kemp declined to run for the seat. Carter, Rep. Mike Collins and Derek Dooley, a former college football coach endorsed by Kemp, are the main competitors in the May 19 GOP primary.

(60,156 posts)Of all the Senators I have talked with in recent years, Jon Ossoff has consistently blown me away with his eloquence and intellectual curiosity. The last time we had dinner, he specifically asked me about the domestic political situations in Germany and France. Luckily, my predictions came true, because it's very intimidating to face someone like Jon a few months later and then apologize for being an idiot
