With national
attention on
Georgia's U.S.
Senate race, Ossoff
and Collins meet
G
eorgia's U.S. Senate race has garnered national
attention for its importance to the Senate's
majority this year. Democrats are trying to
defend a precious seat won in a state that voted for
President Donald Trump in 2024, while Republicans
want to pry the seat to pad their lead in the Senate,
which they currently have a 53-45 majority in.
Incumbent Jon Osso 's seat is one of only two
Democratic seats up for election in a state that President
Donald Trump won in 2024, and the other — in Michigan
— does not feature a Democrat incumbent seeking re-
election.
With 35 of the 100 U.S. Senate seats up for election —
that includes two special elections — Georgia's outcome
will be crucial on a national scale. Democrats hold 13 of the
seats up for election, while Republicans hold 22.
