GA-SEN: Georgia Rep. Buddy Carter (R) enters Senate race against Jon Ossoff

[RandySF]

Georgia Rep. Earl L. “Buddy” Carter on Thursday became the first high-profile Republican to announce a challenge to vulnerable Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff, formally kicking off what is anticipated to be a highly competitive and expensive race for the seat in 2026.

A campaign launch video tied Carter’s candidacy to his support for President Donald Trump, describing the congressman as a “MAGA Warrior.”

“Trump has a warrior in Buddy Carter,” the ad narrator says. “Buddy helped Trump secure our border and put America first.”

Carter’s announcement comes days after Georgia’s popular Republican governor, Brian Kemp, said he would not challenge Ossoff, dashing the hopes of many in the GOP who had viewed him as a top recruit.

2. Notice that Rep. Carter said he was a "Warrior for Trump and

MAGA".
Sen Osoff is a warrior for the the PEOPLE of Georgia, not Trump and his
Billionaire-Oligarch-Despot mafia syndicate..

3. I Met Carter Early On In His House Position.....

He is a duffas. Just as illogical as Tr**p. Is no match for Ossoff.

It was years ago that I met him and I'm so surprised that he's made it this far - this long.

Ossoff will crush him.
