Rep. Mike Collins Attacks Sen. Jon Ossoff as “Power Hungry” Elitist in Georgia Senate Race
PN Team • 4 weeks ago
Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA) used an appearance on Breitbart News Saturday to escalate attacks on Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA), calling him a "power hungry" elitist who is "using Georgia as a platform" for a potential 2028 presidential bid. Collins argued Ossoff votes with Sen. Bernie Sanders roughly 90 percent of the time, draws most of his campaign funding from outside Georgia, and is positioning himself as a future standard-bearer for the Democratic Socialists of America. He also criticized Ossoff's support for international AI governance, framing it as part of a broader globalist agenda on energy and transportation.
Collins, a businessman and second-term congressman representing Georgia's 10th district, is positioning himself as Ossoff's leading Republican challenger ahead of the 2026 midterms. The race is viewed as pivotal to Senate control during the second half of President Trump's term, with Ossoff previously labeled the chamber's most vulnerable Democratic incumbent.
