Anthony Zurcher

Yeah.

They are having a weight of a time.

Yeah, yeah, really a lot of fun.

So, I mean, I think so far some of the concerns about it being a logistical nightmare or being empty stadiums, I mean, I've seen some empty seats, but they haven't panned out yet.

So, you know, we're just a few days into this, but so far I would say so good.

Yeah, he clearly has political talent.

And if you listen to clips of him talking, you see him on the campaign trail.

He is a gifted politician that really connects with the audience.

And he has won in a battleground so-called purple state, Georgia, a state that didn't have a lot of Democrats winning statewide office until he and Raphael Warnock, another Democratic senator from that state, won in 2017.

20.

And now his term is up.

So he's running in 2026 for another six year term.

And that may be the biggest reason why we haven't talked about John Ossoff.

This is because he says he doesn't want to run for president in 2028.

He's focusing on this reelection campaign.

He has been one of the biggest targets for Republicans trying to knock him off because they think they can

win in the red-tinged Georgia Senate race.

And so, of course, that doesn't mean that he's not going to run.

Barack Obama said the same thing when he ran for re-election in 2006.

And then, lo and behold, in 2008, he ran for president.
