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.
