Georgia Sens. Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock criticized President Donald Trump ahead of his planned address, focusing on his remarks about voting machines and broader concerns about democracy and voting rights. Ossoff is running for reelection against Rep. Mike Collins.
Trump said his Thursday address would discuss voting machines and called the expected news significant. Ossoff accused him of reviving debunked election claims and attacking voting rights; Warnock said Georgia was “ground zero” in a threat to democracy and urged Trump to address the cost of gas, housing and health care.
Ossoff is seeking reelection and faces Collins, while Warnock is not up for reelection this year. Warnock also brushed aside a question about a possible future presidential run, saying he was honored to represent Georgians.
