In 2017, Democrat Jon Ossoff lost a special election for Georgia's 6th Congressional District by less than 4% of the vote. Now, the pandemic poses obstacles to rousing a similar level of momentum for his Senate run.

All three Democratic Senate candidates have opposed Kemp's decision: Amico called it"reckless endangerment," Tomlinson referred to it as"premature," and Ossoff singled out Perdue, asking him to"reject Kemp's incompetent policy."on Friday.

Despite Ossoff's financial edge, his spotlight remains small as a result of the crisis, according to Emory University political science professor Andra Gillespie. The former Columbus, Ga., mayor and public safety director has been holding virtual events daily, sometimes with multiple events in a day. "Clearly we would have done better without the coronavirus. I suspect that that was a, you know, a couple hundred thousand-dollar hit to us. But I know all campaigns were probably suffering the same type of setback," Tomlinson said.For candidate Sarah Riggs Amico, the actual act of asking for donations has become harder.

I watched that special election and saw that Ossoff could turn on a dime. First he came across as a Progressive and when he realized he was losing he embraced the Conservative ideology. This is just the type of person we do NOT need in politics or at least not in the Dem Party.

Liberal Democrats keep losing ‘til you lose

Jon would have one with plurality in the first contest had the party rallied around him before that. Democrats has a clear majority in that initial vote, but the vote was split between many candidates.

That’s a little negative.

Who cares? Millions are suffering with illness or struggling to support families without income. Please report on the real problems.

Stop running centrists.
