Georgia senator says Americans will pay for Trump’s Iran war, and family’s corruption, with child and health care cuts
At a campaign rally in Augusta, Georgia, on Saturday, the Democratic senator Jon Ossoff mocked Donald Trump’s rosy predictions on Iran and tore into what he called the unprecedented corruption of the president’s family.
While Ossoff is running for re-election in November, he trained most of his fire on the president, and the vice-president, amid mounting speculation that the Democrat could launch a bid for his party’s nomination for the presidency in 2028.
The senator began his remarks by making fun of the paltry turnout for an event headlined by JD Vance on Tuesday: “I don’t know if you saw, but JD Vance was in Georgia this week. Don’t worry – no one showed up.”
He then argued that Trump’s decision to attack Iran would be paid for by young Americans deployed to the Middle East and cuts to services for their families back home.
