"The Number One Prospect": Why We Should All Have Our Eyes on Sen. Jon Ossoff




Apr 20, 2026

I know he's Jewish, and I don't want to jump to conclusions, but I don't know much about his political views. Thanks in advance.

Also, he accepted less in donations from Israel-centric lobbies than his GA counterpart, Sen Warnock. If this is a purity test, there are other Democratic contenders.

6. Thanks for the info. Not a purity test, just wanting to know more about where he stands. I've already donated.

It is known if people are able to see distinctions and not give in to assumptions or ether/or stereotyping.

That don’t support Netanyahu, not many. More Secular are the sane ones in almost every religion.

Bad comparison. I think Ossoff is better than that.
