Dem Star Drops 2028 Bombshell in Fiery Debate
Jonathan Ernst / REUTERS Jon Ossoff has made a major vow about the 2028 presidential election.
The 39-year-old Democratic senator from Georgia is running for re-election in the midterms on Nov.
3, leading a campaign that has sparked suggestions he may be building toward a presidential run in two years.
But that speculation was dashed during an Atlanta Press Club debate Tuesday night against his GOP opponent, Rep.
Mike Collins, when Ossoff pledged to serve a full six-year term if re-elected.
“Yes, I will,” Ossoff answered when asked if he would pledge to serve a full term.
“I have zero interest in running for president.
I’m not running for president.
I’m running for re-election to the Senate.” Collins has sought to exploit chatter about Ossoff running for the top job, suggesting he’s merely using the race as a springboard to the White House.
“He is running for president.
He’s going to be your DSA candidate,” he said in his rebuttal on Tuesday.
Ossoff is not a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, the progressive socialist organization.
The race in Georgia has caught the nation’s attention and is regarded as a key battleground in deciding who wins the Senate.
Tough Ossoff is the incumbent, the race remains close in a state that Donald Trump won by two points in 2024.
