Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) said Sunday at a campaign rally in Atlanta, Georgia, that ‘small men like’ President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and White House senior advisor Stephen Miller will never understand that Americans’ greatness flows “through our ideas” rather than “our blood or our genes.”The remark was delivered at an energetic rally at The Tabernacle alongside former Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, who recently became the Democratic nominee in the state’s gubernatorial race. The pair of Democrats has started campaigning together as their respective Republican opponents in the Senate and gubernatorial races compete in primary runoff elections.
“Americans are not a race, we’re a people,” Ossoff said. “United not by ethnicity, but by our shared convictions, and that is what makes us exceptional and a beacon to the world.”
Ossoff spent much of the rally discussing the rising cost of living and Trump, saying the president is a “national disgrace” after chastising him for posting over 50 times on Truth Social Saturday night. “He’s building a monument to himself,” Ossoff said to an often-cheering crowd, “because no one will honor him when he’s gone.”
Through guest speakers, Ossoff’s campaign specifically highlighted rising insurance premiums and childcare costs, and Democrats “also repeatedly tied their message to Medicaid expansion.”
