Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.), considered the most vulnerable Democratic incumbent in the Senate this cycle, posted a $20 million fundraising haul in the second quarter of the year as he fights against challenger Rep. Mike Collins (R) to hang on to his seat this fall.

Ossoff ended the second quarter with $42 million in cash on hand, according to his campaign.

The haul comes as Republicans commit to spend big against the incumbent, including a $44 million pledge earlier this year from the Senate Leadership Fund (SLF), affiliated with Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.).

But Ossoff’s second-quarter fundraising dwarfed rival Collins’s campaign, which announced it raised $2.1 million to end with roughly that amount in cash on hand, as reported by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

“The Ossoff campaign is building unstoppable grassroots momentum to push back against Republican dark money, power our massive and winning coalition over the next four months, and resoundingly defeat Trump loyalist Mike Collins at the ballot box come November,” the Democrat’s campaign manager, Ellen Foster, said in a release.

Ossoff, who flipped his seat for Democrats back in 2021 after a tense runoff election, is now the only Democratic senator running for reelection in a state President Trump won in 2024. He’s also considered a potential 2028 presidential contender.

Trump is expected to give a speech Thursday night that he’s teased will include “big news” about voting machines and election integrity, which could include new allegations related to the 2020 election in Georgia. The Peach State has long been at the center of Trump’s unproven claims of widespread 2020 fraud, and Trump’s looming speech has prompted speculation that he could challenge the legitimacy of Georgia’s Democratic senators, Ossoff and Sen. Raphael Warnock (D).

“Donald Trump’s spiral continues. The failed president, pocketing billions as he drives up prices, is afraid to lose the midterms. So he will reheat debunked election conspiracy theories and tell bizarre new lies to deny his 2020 defeat and attack voting rights,” Ossoff said on the social media platform X in response to reports that Trump could question their legitimacy.

“From the start, Trump’s obsession with Georgia elections revealed his fury that Black voters were instrumental to his defeat. I’m asking concerned citizens nationwide to join me and support our voter protection efforts in Georgia.”
