Democrat Jon Ossoff won the US Senate race in Georgia, defeating Republican candidate Mike Collins, according to election projections released after the November 3, 2026, election.
With this result, Ossoff secures reelection and will retain
his seat in the upper house of the US Congress. The senator was seeking a
second term, having first won the Senate in 2021 after a runoff election in
Georgia.
Republican representative Mike Collins sought to wrest the
seat from the Democrats. During his campaign, he focused his proposals on
issues such as border security, the economy, and reducing federal spending.
The race was considered one of the most important of this
election cycle, as Georgia is one of the key states in the battle for control
of the Senate. Ossoff's continued presence represents the preservation of one
of the Democratic seats that were at stake in these elections.
