“President [Donald] Trump’s working families tax cuts will result in bigger paychecks for Georgia families by as much as $10,000 per year,” said Will Martin, communications director for Vance. 

Martin added, “It’s an absolute disgrace that Georgia Sen. Jon Ossoff voted against these tax cuts. Working families in Georgia deserve better, and that’s something Vice President Vance will be sure to emphasize during his visit to Peachtree City.”

Ossoff, who flipped his seat in a 2021 runoff, is seen as one of the most vulnerable Democrats running in 2026. Republicans are eager to highlight his vote against the tax bill as they sharpen attacks on Democrats in states Trump carried or narrowly lost.

Republicans have branded the legislation the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, a sweeping measure that pairs fresh tax cuts with reductions to Medicaid, food stamps, and other federal entitlement programs. Trump signed it into law on July Fourth, following the House’s narrow approval of Senate changes to H.R. 1 in May. 

GOP leaders say the law, which locks in Trump’s 2017 tax cuts while adding new exemptions for tip and overtime wages, reins in “waste, fraud, and abuse” in Medicaid, noting that its new work requirements for beneficiaries enjoy majority support in public polling.

Democrats lined up against the measure, however, denouncing it as a tax giveaway to the wealthy paid for by working families and the most vulnerable.

“JD promised the new GOP would fight for working families. Instead he’s defunding hospitals, nursing homes, and Medicaid to cut taxes for the wealthy. Georgians know what this law is and have already rejected it,” Ossoff said in a statement provided to the Washington Examiner.

Ossoff’s seat is one of the GOP’s top targets in 2026, and the Georgia contest is expected to be among the races that decide control of the Senate. Vance’s visit comes as Georgia Republicans are publicly bracing for what might be a bruising primary to pick their Senate nominee. Gov. Brian Kemp (R-GA), once considered the GOP’s strongest potential challenger, opted not to run, dealing a significant blow to party unity and recruitment efforts. 

Kemp has thrown his support behind former football coach Derek Dooley, while Reps. Buddy Carter (R-GA) and Mike Collins (R-GA) have also entered the race for the Republican nomination to take on Ossoff. Trump has yet to make an endorsement. 

Trump’s track record in Georgia Senate races is mixed. His backing propelled former University of Georgia football star Herschel Walker to the GOP nomination in 2022, but Walker underperformed in the general election, losing to Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) even as Kemp coasted to reelection.

Two years earlier, Trump had thrown his weight behind former Rep. Doug Collins in a bitter primary fight against then-Sen. Kelly Loeffler, Kemp’s appointee. Loeffler survived the primary but ultimately lost in the 2021 runoff. 

Republicans currently hold a 53-47 majority in the chamber. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is waging one of his most aggressive recruitment campaigns in years, securing high-profile candidates in difficult states as Democrats grow more confident about the shifting political landscape.

For Vance, the trip to Peachtree City is not only about hammering Ossoff but also about keeping Trump’s economic agenda front and center. The vice president has used similar stops in Ohio and Pennsylvania to promote the new law and to signal that Republicans intend to make the economy the defining issue of next year’s campaign.

Still, Republicans face headwinds in selling the legislation. A recent Economist/YouGov survey taken after Trump signed the bill on July 4 found that just 35% of adults supported it, compared with 53% who were opposed.
