Democratic incumbent Jon Ossoff projected as the winner of Georgia Senate race

Major race call right now. Decision Desk HQ now projecting John Ossoff wins re-election in Georgia against the Trump-endorsed candidate. President Trump rallied a number of times in Georgia in a state that he won. Two years ago, it was not enough to get him past Mike Collins, DDHQ, now making that projection and setting up John Ossoff to be among the names for the 2028 presidential race, because after this being the most important election of our lives, tomorrow starts the next most important election of our lives. Georgia was a must-keep for Democrats if they want to keep control of the Senate. You said it, but this brings up a whole whole different point that we are going to be watching all night, which is the return of Democrats to the South. And Raphael Warnock, other senator from Georgia, gave an interview over the weekend in which he said, my party needs to start paying attention to the South. We're getting close in Texas, whether we win or not. There's a, you know, there is a race now in Mississippi. John Ossoff is winning handily in Georgia. South Carolina is in play. North Carolina, they are winning probably that Senate seat tonight. How goes the South and what that map now looks like and how the presidential map looks for 2028 tonight will set up. And it's true because 2016, 2020, 2024, Democrats started losing their blue wall, which is consistent for them for election after election. They had to extend where they were able to win in presidential elections. And to your point, Katie, winning tonight in the South is not the same as winning in the presidential in the South, because the economy defies geography. So, if you have hard times, you know, we have one metric, you know, everybody's going to have a million numbers thrown at them tonight, and we haven't even gotten the numbers in yet. But one metric I've never seen in some 30 years of looking at them is we now have a majority of Americans who say they're dissatisfied with their own personal economic reality. That is what we call a bellwether stat. So, that is going to defy geography, but that is not the same proposition in a presidential election cycle that it is now. Which is why... Look, we got to watch what happens. If they get the House, it is all about what they do with the House. Why? MAGA gets one kind of turnout when they are criticizing the status quo. You get another kind when you own the status quo. The Democrats, if they get the House, and they get it by a margin where they're not infighting all the time, to your guy's point, you better have like a contract with America type agenda. Which they did not have. Not yet, they don't. Putting out all these things, and the president said, well, I'm going to veto all of them. You better be careful. You better be careful about what he vetoed. I think people are drastically misreading that. I agree. Drastically. What did he say? He said, I'm going to be Mr. Veto, but there's always deals to be made. He will make deals with anyone. He will make deals with anyone if he can declare victory. And that's the question for Democrats is if he's standing there saying, I'm willing to make a deal on immigration, I'm willing to make a deal on social security, I'm willing to make a deal on health care, and they choose the impeachment and resistance route. That is something that could backfire in a major way. Big waste of opportunity for that. Thank you for watching.
