GOP super PAC commits record $44M to oust Ossoff in Georgia

“Jon Ossoff, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris exposed Georgia families to open borders, crushing inflation, rampant crime and a government that stopped working for them,” said the group’s executive director, Alex Latcham, who said the spending will help “retire Ossoff and elect a Republican who will fight for common sense solutions in Washington.”

The move comes as Ossoff consolidates Democratic support and enters the general-election frame in a comparatively strong position, while Republicans remain mired in a fractured primary field with no runaway front-runner.

U.S. Rep. Mike Collins has led U.S. Rep. Buddy Carter and former football coach Derek Dooley in most public polling, though the biggest bloc remains the roughly 40% of likely GOP voters who say they’re still undecided.

So far, much of the Republican contest has centered on winning over President Donald Trump and his supporters ahead of the May 19 primary, rather than reaching out to the middle-of-the-road voters who have helped decide every major statewide Georgia election this decade.

Ossoff, meanwhile, has used the fractured field to seize the offensive. He has vowed to oppose Trump’s policies and leaned into anti-corruption themes, casting himself as a steady hand in a chaotic moment. He’s also amassed a formidable war chest, with more than $25 million in his account.

In a March speech, Ossoff made clear he’s aiming beyond the Democratic base, framing the election as a bulwark against Trump.

“These midterms will be among the most consequential in American history, because if there were ever a moment that called for checks and balances, this is it,” Ossoff said. “And my opponents have already made clear they will be Donald Trump’s puppets.”
