Ossoff, running for re-election against Republican Mike Collins, criticized Trump\u2019s false claims and leveraged them to rally support for voter protection efforts in Georgia. He accused Trump of spreading lies to undermine voting rights and suggested that Trump&#8217;s actions threaten the stability of Georgia\u2019s election results, which have historically leaned Republican but shifted Democratic with Ossoff and Warnock winning Senate seats in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Ossoff also highlighted ongoing investigations into election interference in Georgia, including FBI searches and legal battles over election records, while noting that Trump has publicly considered giving a speech that might revisit the 2020 election controversy, though some reports have since been corrected. Recent polling indicates Ossoff holds a small lead over Collins, but the race is expected to become more competitive ahead of November. The article emphasizes the political tensions surrounding Georgia\u2019s election history, Trump\u2019s false claims, and the state&#8217;s pivotal role in national politics.  <\/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<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sen. <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/jon-ossoff\/\">Jon Ossoff<\/a> (D-GA) sought to rally his base on Monday evening in response to reports that President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"4\">Donald Trump<\/a> will state that <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/georgia\/\">Georgia\u2019s <\/a>two senators are illegitimate due to claims that fraud corrupted the state\u2019s 2020 election. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ossoff is running for reelection and will face Republican nominee Mike Collins in November.
