Vance plans to attend an event in Peachtree City were he will promote the tax law as beneficial to working families, criticizing ossoff for opposing it. Ossoff, a vulnerable Democrat up for reelection in 2026, voted against the legislation, wich Republicans label the &#8220;One Big beautiful Bill Act&#8221;-a combination of tax cuts and reductions in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/sen-ron-johnson-suggests-annual-review-of-medicare-social-security-spending-for-better-oversight\/\" title=\"Sen. Ron Johnson Suggests Annual Review of Medicare, Social Security Spending for Better Oversight\">federal entitlement programs<\/a>.Republicans argue the law benefits working families and curbs waste in Medicaid, while Democrats contend it favors the wealthy at the expense of vulnerable populations. The Georgia senate race is seen as critical in determining Senate control, with Republicans facing challenges in candidate unity after Governor Brian Kemp opted not to run and rather endorsed another candidate. The article also notes the mixed success of former President Trump&#8217;s influence in Georgia senate races and mentions ongoing recruitment efforts by Senate Democrats led by Chuck Schumer. Despite Republican efforts to promote the tax law, public support remains low according to recent polls. <br \/> <!DOCTYPE html><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<div id=\"ld-4686-3758\"><\/div>\n<p><script>(function(w,d,s,i){w.ldAdInit=w.ldAdInit||[];w.ldAdInit.push({slot:14832835450050406,size:[0, 0],id:\"ld-4686-3758\"});if(!d.getElementById(i)){var j=d.createElement(s),p=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];j.async=true;j.src=\"https:\/\/cdn2.decide.dev\/_js\/ajs.js\";j.id=i;p.parentNode.insertBefore(j,p);}})(window,document,\"script\",\"ld-ajs\");<\/script><\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Vance to campaign against Ossoff in Thursday trip to Georgia<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2207573\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Vice President<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/jd-vance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> JD Vance<\/a> is traveling to Georgia on Thursday to promote Republicans&rsquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/senate-news\/3459817\/senate-final-one-big-beautiful-bill-act-what-made-it-in\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> new tax law,<\/a> using the stop to attack <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/jon-ossoff\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sen.

Jon Ossoff voted against these tax cuts. Working families in Georgia deserve better, and that&rsquo;s something Vice President Vance will be sure to emphasize during his visit to Peachtree City.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans have branded <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/3460639\/republican-big-beautiful-bill-clears-house-procedural-hurdle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the legislation<\/a> 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&rsquo;s narrow approval of Senate changes to H.R. 1 in May.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>GOP leaders say the law, which locks in Trump&rsquo;s 2017 tax cuts while adding new exemptions for tip and overtime wages, reins in &ldquo;waste, fraud, and abuse&rdquo; in Medicaid, noting that its new work requirements for beneficiaries enjoy majority support in public polling.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;JD promised the new GOP would fight for working families. Instead he&rsquo;s defunding hospitals, nursing homes, and Medicaid to cut taxes for the wealthy. Georgians know what this law is and have already rejected it,&rdquo; Ossoff said in a statement provided to the <em>Washington Examiner. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Ossoff&rsquo;s seat is one of the GOP&rsquo;s top targets in 2026, and the Georgia contest is expected to be among the races that decide control of the Senate. Vance&rsquo;s visit comes as Georgia Republicans are publicly bracing for what might be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3488365\/inside-the-gop-blowup-over-brian-kemp-georgia-senate-pick\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a bruising primary<\/a> to pick their Senate nominee.

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.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Trump&rsquo;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 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/2873760\/herschel-walkers-baggage-is-becoming-too-unbearable-georgia-lieutenant-governor-says\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">underperformed<\/a> in the general election, losing to Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) even as Kemp coasted to reelection.<\/p>\n<p>Two years earlier, Trump had thrown his weight behind former Rep. Doug Collins in a bitter <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/913702\/doug-collins-wont-run-for-office-in-2022\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">primary fight<\/a> against then-Sen. Kelly Loeffler, Kemp&rsquo;s appointee. Loeffler survived the primary but ultimately lost in the 2021 runoff.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Republicans currently hold a 53-47 majority in the chamber. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3500509\/schumer-scores-top-2026-senate-recruits-democrats\/\">is waging one of his most aggressive recruitment campaigns<\/a> in years, securing high-profile candidates in difficult states as Democrats grow more confident about the shifting political landscape.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3500509\/schumer-scores-top-2026-senate-recruits-democrats\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SCHUMER SCORES TOP 2026 RECRUITS IN TOUGH BID TO RETURN DEMOCRATS TO POWER<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For Vance, the trip to Peachtree City is not only about hammering Ossoff but also about keeping Trump&rsquo;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&rsquo;s campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Still, Republicans face headwinds in selling the legislation.
