Story summary

Jon Ossoff, the first-term Georgia senator, is poised to win reelection against his Republican opponent, Mike Collins, according to recent polls. Nine years after launching a longshot bid for Congress in Atlanta's suburbs and flipping a Senate seat in 2021, Ossoff now enjoys significant support among Democrats. During a rally in Morrow, Georgia, Ossoff was introduced by former President Barack Obama, who praised him as the "common-sense choice" in the race. Obama highlighted Ossoff’s mentorship under late civil rights activist John Lewis and noted his rhetorical style similar to his own. The event coincided with the death of Dolores Huerta, a United Farmworkers organizer known for popularizing the slogan “Si se puede,” which inspired Obama's campaign mantra "Yes we can."
