US Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) won reelection on November 3, 2026, defeating Republican Mike Collins by 59% to 41%. The victory has spurred speculation about a potential 2028 presidential run, though Ossoff has said he has 'zero interest' in running. The article examines Ossoff's Jewish identity and his evolving stance on Israel, which has drawn both praise and criticism from Jewish constituents. Ossoff has voted to restrict offensive military aid to Israel and said he has 'no doubt' Israeli forces committed war crimes in Gaza, while still defining himself as 'pro-Israel.' The ADL congratulated Ossoff on his win despite denouncing other Israel critics, partly due to concerns about Collins' ties to white nationalists. The article notes shifting Democratic Party views on Israel, citing a J Street poll showing 39% of Jewish voters support conditional defensive aid.
