Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff is distancing himself from his radical left-wing record to appeal to moderate voters in Georgia as he eyes re-election.

On his campaign website, Ossoff lists political issues that are overwhelmingly bipartisan, such as lowering housing costs, expanding veteran assistance, and protecting Social Security.

He does not mention any of the issues he once championed, such as gun control, climate change, and anti-voter ID legislation.

Additionally, the website does not list any of Ossoff’s current endorsements. He has been endorsed by controversial gun control advocacy groups, Planned Parenthood’s Action Fund, the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Action Fund, and partisan coalitions such as Forward Blue.

Tyler O’Neil, author of “Making Hate Pay: The Corruption of the Southern Poverty Law Center,” wrote in a statement that the group “weaponizes its history of suing the Ku Klux Klan into bankruptcy to smear mainstream conservative and Christian groups as ‘hateful,’ and has faced numerous scandals, from defamation lawsuits and racial discrimination claims to accusations of union-busting. But critics’ largest complaint involves the way it raises money by exaggerating hate.”

Ossoff’s campaign image does not match his voting record. While in Congress, the freshman senator has voted for legislation aligned with Democratic priorities, such as stricter gun control measures, climate regulations, and efforts to oppose voter identification measures.

Gun Control

Ossoff has received support from gun-control advocacy groups such as Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund, which celebrated his 2021 victory as creating a “gun sense majority” in the Senate.

“Jon Ossoff and Rev. (Raphael) Warnock’s victory over two staunch NRA allies has created a gun sense majority in the U.S. Senate and ushered in a new era for gun safety in Congress,” Everytown for Gun Safety President John Feinblatt wrote in a press release.

Ossoff has also expressed support for tighter gun laws, including “red flag” measures. In a PBS NewsHour compilation of senators’ responses after the Uvalde, Texas, school shooting, Ossoff said, “We need to change. We have to reform our laws to keep weapons out of the hands of killers.”

Voter ID Requirement

Ossoff, who requires attendees to provide two forms of identification to enter his events, co-sponsored the Freedom to Vote Act in 2021, which would have allowed individuals to override state requirements that prevent non-citizens from voting in elections.

In 2024, he introduced similar legislation.

“This bill would empower voters to challenge in court any action taken by a state or local government that makes it harder to vote, and force that state or that locality to demonstrate that the restrictions serve some governmental purpose and are the least restrictive means of doing so,” he wrote in a press release.

States such as Florida, Texas, and Georgia currently mandate voters to prove their identity before entering a voting booth.

In 2026, Ossoff claimed the SAVE America Act, which Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, introduced to expand those protections nationwide for federal elections, was a “bad faith bill.”

Climate Change

During his initial Senate campaign, Ossoff warned supporters that climate change posed a “dire threat” to health, the economy, and national security.

“The evidence is clear and has been clear for decades that if we don’t get greenhouse gas emissions under control and if we don’t decarbonize energy production, then climate change poses a dire threat to our health, to our economy and to our security,” he said.

Since taking office, he has consistently supported climate and environmental priorities aligned with Democratic leadership.

Once in the Senate, Ossoff voted to appropriate tax dollars to measures and programs that restricted carbon emissions.

For instance, in 2025, Ossoff voted against the Rescission of International Climate and Emergency Alert System Funding, which slashed over half a billion taxpayer dollars “to help other countries recover from climate-fueled disasters and build clean energy projects around the world,” according to the League of Conservation Voters.

Prior to the vote, Ossoff voted against a resolution that aimed to repeal the Federal Highway Administration’s rule setting a national performance management measure for greenhouse gas emissions.

In 2023, he voted against a measure to repeal “the Department of Labor’s (DOL) rule to protect people’s retirement savings from all types of financial risk,” including “risks due to climate change,” the League of Conservation voters said.

High Stakes Senate Race

Ossoff’s race is already drawing major national attention and outside spending. The Cook Political Report recently moved the Georgia contest from “Toss Up” to “Lean Democrat,” citing a shifting national environment.

“With an increasingly sour national environment for Republicans, the Senate battlefield is shifting in Democrats’ favor,” Jessica Taylor, of the Cook Political Report, wrote on Monday.

Meanwhile, Republicans’ top Senate-aligned super PAC, the Senate Leadership Fund, has committed significant money to Georgia. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported an initial $44 million commitment aimed at defeating Ossoff.

The Daily Signal’s Mehek Cooke said President Donald Trump’s handling of Iran and the Strait of Hormuz is forcing both Tehran and Beijing into a corner, calling the strategy “checkmate” during a television appearance Tuesday night.

Speaking on NewsNation’s “Katie Pavlich Tonight,“ Cooke said the Iranian regime miscalculated by threatening shipping lanes just as a ceasefire agreement with the United States reached its two-week mark. Under the original terms of the ceasefire, Iran was expected to keep the Strait of Hormuz open—through which much of the world’s oil flows.

“Iran still thinks they’re winning because they have a ceasefire and President Trump gave them a lifeline,” Cooke said. “But what President Trump really did was give the American people a window into who Iranians really are—that they’re not going to negotiate in good faith.”

Cooke argued that by moving to control the strait, the Trump administration is cutting off Iran’s primary economic leverage and drawing China—Iran’s largest oil customer—into pressuring Tehran.

“China was getting 90% of that oil,” Cooke said. “So, guess who’s going to be at that negotiating table pushing Iran to stop holding proxy wars and stop holding us hostage? It’s China.”

She said Arab states in the Persian Gulf, now facing direct threats from Iran, are moving closer to Israel and the West in pursuit of stability and economic growth.

“This is a complete reset,” Cooke said. “We’re watching in real time Arab states pivot toward Israel and the West because they want a future of peace and prosperity.”

Cooke also warned that as Iran loses economic and territorial leverage, it may intensify proxy and terrorist activity beyond the Middle East, including in the Western Hemisphere.

“We have to be vigilant,” she said. “The Iranians are out of steam, so they’re going to look for other ways to strike Americans.”
