Democrat Jon Ossoff projected to hold key Georgia Senate seat
Less than one hour after polls closed in Georgia, Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff is projected to hold the key Georgia Senate seat.
His victory was not unexpected - Ossoff had a comfortable lead in the polls over his Republican challenger, Rep Mike Collins, heading into election day.
But Republicans had still hoped this would be a more competitive race. It’s a state that has voted reliably red for decades. President Donald Trump won it in 2024, after Joe Biden eked out a narrow win there in 2020.
