Ossoff Holds Georgia Senate Seat, Beats Collins for a Second Term
Georgia Sen. Jon Ossoff won reelection Tuesday, defeating Republican Rep. Mike Collins to secure a second term. The win keeps a key Senate seat in Democratic hands and pushes the chamber's youngest member into his party's national spotlight.
Jon Ossoff is staying in the Senate. The Georgia Democrat won a second term on Tuesday, beating Republican Rep. Mike Collins in a race that kept a key seat on his party's side of the ledger.
The victory does more than extend his tenure. It lifts Ossoff, already the youngest member of the Senate, to the front edge of the Democratic Party's national stars — a jump the Associated Press tied directly to the outcome of this race.
Collins, a sitting Republican congressman, came up short in his attempt to take the seat. His loss leaves Georgia's Senate contest in Democratic hands.
For Democrats, the result preserves a seat they could not afford to lose. For Ossoff, it converts a hard-fought defense into a launching pad, handing him a bigger platform inside a party searching for its next national voices.
