Ossoff Raises A Staggering $11M For Senate ReElect.
The stock market may be taking a hit today, but economic uncertainty hasn’t slowed donations to Senator Jon Ossoff’s reelection campaign.
“I’m grateful to the hundreds of thousands of record-shattering supporters who have already joined what will be the biggest and most relentless turnout effort in Georgia history,” the 38-year-old first-term senator said in a statement.
According to the campaign, Ossoff’s average donation during the quarter was $32, coming from 260,000 individual donors and over 155,000 first-time donors. Donations came in from 156 of the state’s 159 counties.
The early fundraising haul is a show of force that could serve to keep some potential GOP challengers on the sideline, though the $11 million is certain to be only a drop in the bucket of the expected overall spending. Georgia’s 2022 Senate race won by Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock saw more than $515 million spent by campaigns and outside groups, according to OpenSecrets.
Over the next few weeks, we could see a lot of 2026 Senate campaign news. The first big domino to fall will be Governor Kemp’s decision. Will he run for Senate or not? If not, expect numerous other Republicans to make swift decisions, including Congresswoman Greene, Congressmen Carter, Collins, and McCormick, Insurance Commissioner John King, and SOS Raffensperger, among others.
I’m told if MTG runs, Mike Collins will not. If she doesn’t, Collins very well may toss his hat into the ring seeking to occupy the MAGA lane in the GOP primary.
