The election is just four days away and both of Georgia’s candidates for U.S. Senate are traveling across the state making their final pitches to voters.
In the final days of the campaign, Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff emphasized the increased cost of living and tied it to the Trump administration at an event to engage young voters with former Vice President Kamala Harris in Atlanta.
“It has never cost more in American history to fill up your truck, to power your home, to stock your fridge, to go to the doctor — never in American History,” he said to the crowd.
Ossoff has put his defiance to President Donald Trump front and center in his campaign, bringing up corruption, tariffs, and the Iran war in many of his rally speeches.
Ossoff’s challenger, Republican U.S. Rep. Mike Collins, met with voters at a barbecue restaurant in West Georgia, where he touted his congressional record.
“See, I went up there to make sure that your life is safer,” Collins told the room. “Closed that border. Make sure your life is more affordable, voted for that, tax cuts on everything.”
Over 2 million Georgians have already cast their ballot early. Most recent polls show Ossoff leading Collins, and both candidates will continue to campaign this weekend.
