Story summary

Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff has won re-election to his Georgia Senate seat, defeating Republican challenger Rep. Mike Collins on November 4, 2026.

The election underscored growing public disapproval of President Trump and his administration's policies, including double-digit tariffs on other countries and federal agent deployments into cities. Ossoff emphasized this rejection of Trump's leadership during his victory speech, declaring that the American people have rejected the "failed lame duck president" Donald J. Trump.
