Georgia Sen. Jon Ossoff reiterates he has “zero interest” in running for president in 2028 and says he will serve out a full six-year Senate term if re-elected. The pledge comes as he faces Republican challenger Rep. Mike Collins in the lead-up to the November Senate election.
Ossoff makes the remarks during a televised debate, directly answering questions about whether he might pursue the White House. Multiple outlets report he frames his commitment to staying in the Senate through the end of the term as a clear rejection of recent speculation that he could be a 2028 contender.
Across coverage, outlets also note the debate includes broader partisan exchanges, including accusations tied to the 2020 election and claims about connections to white nationalists. While those issues are part of the contest between Ossoff and Collins, the focus of the shared reporting is Ossoff’s most forceful public statement to date against pursuing a presidential run in 2028.
