The president was in Perry, Georgia stumping for Rep. Mike Collins (R-Ga.) who is running to unseat Ossoff in the Senate, and for Rick Jackson who is running for governor against former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance-Bottoms.

Ossoff, who is widely thought of to be a leading contender for the Democratic nominee for president in 2028, is leading Collins by eight points, 48% to 40% with 12% undecided according to the latest AJC poll.
