RNC Statement on Georgia Senate Runoff

Press Release

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Joe Gruters released the following statement on the Georgia Senate runoff:  


“Congratulations to MAGA patriot Mike Collins, who has been a warrior for Georgia from day one. Jon Ossoff will never fight for Georgians like he fights for criminal illegals, open borders, and men in women's sports. Voters will send him packing this November.” 


Jon Ossoff:


  • Is campaigning as a “partner” with Keisha Lance Bottoms, who defunded the police, pushed sanctuary city policies, believes the "MAGA Republican agenda" is an effort to "essentially destroy the United States of America,” and worked in the Biden administration and for Kamala Harris’ failed campaign. 

  • Voted with Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and the Democrats 97% of the time. 

  • Called the largest middle-class tax cuts in history “a disaster for Georgia.”

  • Shut down the Department of Homeland Security for 76 days to protect criminal illegals, impacting TSA, FEMA, World Cup preparations in Atlanta, and more. 

  • Supported the Biden-Harris border crisis, opposes President Trump’s efforts to secure the border, and smears law enforcement officers.

  • Refused to champion the Laken Riley Act and has never posted about his constituent Laken’s tragic murder by a criminal illegal alien.

  • Forced women and girls to compete against and share locker rooms with men.
