Jon Ossoff

Ossoff: Last September, the President of Kazakhstan calls Donald Trump and says he wants to grant tungsten mining rights to an American company. And the very next month, Eric and Don Jr. get a stake in the American company pursuing the mining deal. Six days later, six days after Prince Eric and Prince Don get their stake, Kazakhstan announces this company will get, “The largest known undeveloped tungsten resource in the world.” A few more weeks go by, and then the U.S. government, run by their father, sets aside 1.6 billion of your tax dollars to fund and finance their mining project. In Kazakhstan. All this while you pay more for gas, for groceries, for health care, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Ossoff: American politics is coin-operated. Money goes in, favors come out, and that's why spectacular wealth buys an ever-greater share of power over our national affairs, while the mere citizen is treated with contempt. Citizens United was the most destructive court decision in modern American history. It's unleashed a flood of secret money, corporate money, billionaire money on both sides.

Ossoff: This entire thing is a disgrace… Both of my Trump puppet opponents in their debate last weekend enthusiastically endorsed this and said that they would support this $1.8 billion slush fund for Jan 6th footsoldiers and the President's cronies.

My two opponents: a congressman who's only a congressman because his daddy was a congressman and a coach who's only a coach because his daddy was a coach.

Ossoff: He’s trying to put his face on the money. He's building a monument to himself . But see, Atlanta, he's doing these things now because no one will honor him when he’s gone… because he's a failed president and a national disgrace.

Ossoff: "While you pay more for everything, Donald Trump wants your tax dollars for what many are calling the Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Ballroom."

Ossoff: This is what small men like Donald Trump and JD Vance and Stephen Miller will never understand—that our national greatness flows not through our blood or our genes, but through our ideas. Americans are not a race, we're a people united not by ethnicity, but by our shared convictions, and that is what makes us exceptional

Ossoff: They tried to run Kemp, but he refused. So we're left with the congressman who's only a congressman because his daddy was a congressman and the coach, who's only a coach because his daddy was a coach. It doesn't matter which one wins . They're both Trump puppets and we'll beat either one of them in November

Ossoff: What those who build ballrooms and monuments to themselves, who rake in billions from foreign princes while the people's savings disappear with their hospitals, what they hate the most is when people hold them accountable at the polls.

"A wave is building, the kind that comes once a generation, when people have been pushed too far and they decide all at once and all together that enough is enough." – @ossoff

Ossoff: "What those who build ballrooms and monuments for themselves, who rake in billions from foreign prices while the people's savings disappear with their hospitals, what they hate the most is when people hold them accountable at the polls. So why Fulton County? I submit to you it is because the fact Black voters were instrumental to his defeat might be more offensive to this president than the defeat itself."

Ossoff: "We see a faithless president self-dealing while he depicts as Christ, while he depicts the Obamas as apes, while he plunges the nation into reckless war, sends prices soaring, and plunders our healthcare to cut taxes for those who already have spectacular wealth."

Ossoff: You all probably saw over the last week that the President of the United States, who sued the U.S. government for $10 billion, then settled that lawsuit with himself to try and create a nearly $2 billion slush fund for the folks who sacked the United States Capitol and attacked those Capitol Police officers and tried to prevent the peaceful transfer of power when Georgia ejected Donald Trump from the White House the first time… You all also probably saw that as he continues his project of turning the White House into his royal palace, he's demanding vast sums of money – your money, the people's money – for his ballroom. And this is just the tip of the iceberg in a pattern of corruption and abuse unprecedented in the history of the Presidency, but you can rest assured that both of my opponents would be voting for this insurrectionist slush fund and would be voting for this crooked ballroom.

Ossoff: I am running in Georgia against two Trump lackeys who, you can rest assured as they race for the President's approval, would be voting for this crooked ballroom and this insurrectionist slush fund. And in fact, every national political reporter in the country should be putting that question to these two candidates tonight. They want to be candidates for the U.S. Senate? Let's see them prove to the people of Georgia… because they're pro-war, they're pro-tariff, they're pro-cutting health care. Let's find out where they stand on the crooked ballroom and the insurrectionist slush fund.

Congratulations to @KeishaBottoms on a well-fought victory. While GOP candidates now face prolonged infighting, united Georgia Democrats enter the General Election with unprecedented momentum and determination. Keisha’s powerful campaign mobilized voters statewide, and together we are building a massive and unstoppable winning coalition to deliver decisive victories statewide up and down the ballot in November.

Ossoff: A wave is building, but nothing is guaranteed. This is still the most competitive and crucial battleground state in the United States. And so I say again, the time for worry is over, and now it's time for work.

Congress has let drug companies rip off Americans for decades. Lobbyists, campaign cash, and a system that protects industry profits. But it doesn’t have to be this way.
