ATLANTA, United States (AFP) — Jon Ossoff’s reelection Tuesday to the Senate in the southern state of Georgia will fuel speculation of a 2028 presidential run by one of the Democratic Party’s young rising stars.
While the 39-year-old has said that he has “zero interest in running for president,” his victory in Georgia bolsters his status in the Democratic Party two years before the next presidential vote.
NBC News and CBS News called the race in Ossoff’s favor, as he fended off a challenge from Republican Mike Collins in a state that President Donald Trump won in 2024.
