\n Outside the frame of the viral clips \u2013 shot by two cameras carefully positioned on either side of the stage \u2013 were over a thousand people, hot under the tin roof of a converted ironworks on Saturday afternoon. They applauded a few times and got one \u201cUSA! USA!\u201d chant briefly going, but mostly they sat quietly listening as Georgia Sen. Jon Ossoff spoke.\n <\/p>

\n He practiced no consultant conventional wisdom of tacking center or soft in a purple state. Nor were there any swings for or against socialism. He made just one passing reference to the Reflecting Pool, but it centered on incompetence and wastefully sending the National Guard to surround the site, rather than giggling about the color. Ossoff drove hard at Donald Trump again and again, in a state the president won twice, while including his disgust at the conspiratorial obsession after Trump lost it the other time.\n <\/p>\n

\n This is the strategy that appears to be working in a must-win race in 2026\u2019s trickiest territory for Democrats and has turned Ossoff into an online sensation along the way. The rallies have become such events that vendors set up around the block from Saturday\u2019s event to sell their own knock-off Ossoff T-shirts and bespoke spray-painted Barack Obama \u201cHope\u201d-style portraits for lawn signs. He\u2019s gone from flash-in-the-pan failed 2017 House candidate running for a written off Senate seat in 2020 to being pulled into presidential speculation.\n <\/p>\n

\n Ossoff hates the talk, his advisers hate the talk, and he goes out of his way to avoid engaging with it. There\u2019s \u201ca fantasy football dimension\u201d to anything about 2028, he told CNN a few blocks from the rally site on Friday afternoon, during a break from finalizing a draft of his remarks. Both for the sake of his psyche and his politics trying to be the first Democratic senator elected to a second full term in Georgia since Sam Nunn won his last race in 1990, he repeats in every way he can that he has zero interest.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cThere\u2019s a danger of that distracting from the mission critical task of winning the midterm elections,\u201d said Ossoff, who will face Trump-endorsed Rep. Mike Collins in the fall. Instead, he\u2019s focused on the home front \u2013 on constituent services and on delivering what his staff jokes are his monthly \u2018taking everyone to church\u2019 speeches, which start by asking attendees to turn to their neighbors and pledge to work together.\n <\/p>\n

\n Every rally is a half-hour grounding of the consequences of corruption, like Saturday\u2019s ticking through Trump\u2019s cutting health care subsidies to fund tax cuts for the wealthy before soliciting rich donors to fund his planned White House ballroom, \u201cPrince Jared\u201d Kushner negotiating to end the costly war in Iran while raising money for his investment company, and how Trump\u2019s failed promises to bring down prices fit right in with how the \u201ccorporate disrespect is suffocating\u201d American families.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cThere\u2019s an obligation for leaders to attack the obscenity of this, whether or not it\u2019s the shrewdest political stance,\u201d Ossoff said.\n <\/p>\n

\n No longer as bristling to be taken seriously as when he first arrived in Washington at 33, Ossoff still tries to keep the non-political parts of his life private and pre-set the bounds of what he\u2019ll discuss. Even in group lunches with other Democratic senators he doesn\u2019t say much, said his friend, Colorado Sen. John Hickenlooper, describing how the freshman lawmaker often asks questions about what issues they should or shouldn\u2019t be considering, \u201ckind of putting the breadcrumbs out there so that they get the sense of ownership and discovery that helps you win arguments.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Ossoff didn\u2019t expect the rallies to take off quite this much when he started holding them last year, and, while the former documentary filmmaker will weigh in on the camera setups, the life they\u2019ve taken online can still surprise him. At the last minute before a rally in May, he almost cut a long story about the Trump administration\u2019s approval of government funding for a tungsten mine in Kazakhstan that his two oldest sons have been linked to.\n <\/p>\n

\n Ossoff says he doesn\u2019t have any social media apps on his phone and marvels at how some of his colleagues get lost in them. \u201cI guess I was wrong,\u201d he later joked to aides when he heard that the salvaged bit racked up millions of views. On Saturday, he reprised it, adding \u201cyour tax dollars are backing a tungsten mine\u201d to a litany of what he called \u201ccoin-operated\u201d American politics: \u201cMoney goes in, favors come out.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n In Albania, they\u2019re protesting another entangled Kushner deal so much it\u2019s being called the Flamingo Revolution, Ossoff added, calling for Americans to start standing up too.\n <\/p>\n

\n The reelection campaign that almost wasn\u2019t\n<\/h2>\n

\n Ossoff considered not running for another term. Since his last race, he and his high school sweetheart wife have had two daughters, now ages 4 and 1. Over the course of several conversations with CNN, it was the rare moment that he paused without having an answer ready to go.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cI find the separation from my kids to be really painful,\u201d he said after a moment, thinking back at the decision. But Ossoff said he felt compelled by a \u201cworldview\u201d to keep going as part of a bigger fight to restore faith in government.\n <\/p>\n

\n Now 39, Ossoff is still the youngest member of the Senate. In the nearly six years since his last race, Ossoff has gone from helping win the majority to toiling in the minority, from Joe Biden in the White House to the return of Trump, but it was those girls at home that accentuated how much he felt like an interloper in what he called \u201cthe world\u2019s most powerful senior center.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cIt\u2019s not just that the Senate is overwhelmingly full of people of a certain age for whom parenting is a distant memory. It\u2019s also full of people who have been senators for decades, which equally distances them from the daily reality of American life,\u201d Ossoff said.\n <\/p>\n

\n To J.B. Poersch, the head of the Democratic-aligned Senate Majority PAC, this is a big part of why party leaders are, to their amazement, not seeing as much of a need to spend money to protect Ossoff, who also happens to be sitting on more than $32 million according to his latest campaign fundraising report.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cHe doesn\u2019t feel like an incumbent. He\u2019s young. There\u2019s too much energy. He feels like change,\u201d Poersch said.\n <\/p>\n

\n Ossoff would prefer that more people remember that just four years ago, it took an intense campaign and millions of dollars for Sen. Raphael Warnock to beat Republican Herschel Walker by all of a percentage point \u2014 and that was with a swirl of controversy around Walker\u2019s candidacy. He calls himself \u201cthe underdog\u201d in what he predicts will be this year\u2019s most expensive and closest Senate race.\n <\/p>\n

\n Ossoff\u2019s opponent seems to agree. \u201cHe\u2019s losing, and he knows he\u2019s losing,\u201d Collins told CNN\u2019s Manu Raju earlier in the week, adding \u201cthis guy is weak, he\u2019s woke, and he will be defeated because at the end of the day Georgia is going have a choice, and that choice is clear as day.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n From the fundraising to the rhetoric to the rallies being staged by a presidential-level events firm, though, Ossoff is not acting much like an underdog, but that choice between Trump allegiance and himself is precisely what Ossoff wanted.\n <\/p>\n

\n At the rally, the senator repeated what\u2019s become a favorite line: \u201cthere\u2019s a reason why (Republican Gov.) Brian Kemp worked so hard\u201d to stop Collins from being the nominee. In the months after Kemp didn\u2019t jump in himself to the Ossoff campaign\u2019s relief, the senator\u2019s team worked quietly behind the scenes to boost Collins and hurt who they saw as the more palatable former college football coach and Kemp-backed Derek Dooley, according to people involved.\n <\/p>\n

\n Ossoff embraced the president\u2019s endorsement of Collins days before the Republican Senate runoff, slamming him as Trump\u2019s fellow extremist and puppet and rhetorically sliding him into the same system he describes of perpetual self-dealing. \u201cThe bigot congressman, who is only a congressman because his daddy was a congressman,\u201d he said at Saturday\u2019s rally, referencing scrutiny Collins has faced over past social media posts.\n <\/p>\n

\n Collins argued the senator hasn\u2019t condemned enough hateful people himself. He also stuck to his denialism about the 2020 Georgia results, falsely claiming \u201cTrump won that race.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n A Senate approach built around accountability\n<\/h2>\n

\n After he won in 2021, Ossoff told staff to dig in on constituent services: smart politics for building up goodwill in a tough state, but he insists that it was more about doing his part to save democracy.\n <\/p>

\n \u201cThe collapse of public trust in government is so intense, the recognition of the depth of corruption is so widespread, that something as seemingly simple as providing great service fulfills the essential function of restoring some confidence in the Constitution and American government,\u201d he told CNN.\n <\/p>\n

\n Fans include state Rep. Ruwa Romman, whom Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has endorsed for state Senate in Georgia this cycle. Romman told CNN, \u201cfor constituent services, I don\u2019t think you\u2019re going to find someone who can match his capabilities.\u201d Even Dooley, in the middle of a radio interview blasting the senator in the lead-up to the GOP run-off, acknowledged, \u201cHe\u2019s got really good constituent services, so if somebody has a problem with a passport, you know, he does good things like that.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cI have been surprised how people express that they\u2019re stunned to have been treated so well,\u201d Ossoff said.\n <\/p>\n

\n Though Ossoff is so guarded about his non-political life that he was surprised word got out, he confirmed to CNN that his favorite movie is \u201cThe Ghost Writer,\u201d a 2010 Roman Polanski thriller about an author brought into a politician\u2019s inner circle only to discover a scandal that he throws himself into exposing.\n <\/p>\n

\n Ossoff spent just a few years producing documentaries about international corruption and abuses, but argues that what he often talks about as his investigative journalism career defines him still \u2013 now with congressional subpoena authority and a bully pulpit. The investigations he\u2019s spent the last five years on, though, aren\u2019t the usual partisan or show hearing bait: he\u2019s dug into foster care abuses and bad housing practices for military families, and his team likes to brag that he is the only Democrat to have subpoenaed a Biden administration official, the Bureau of Prisons director, over allegations of abuse and corruption in the agency.\n <\/p>\n

\n That\u2019s also meant working with stalwart GOP Tennessee Sen. Marsha Blackburn or, when he won an award for the prisons investigation, earning praise from his Republican partner then-Indiana Sen. Mike Braun.\n <\/p>\n

\n The documentaries exposed \u201cwhat bad people who assumed they had impunity were doing when they believed they were acting in secret,\u201d Ossoff said, explaining, \u201cit is the same motivation to expose the abuse of power that has driven so much of my work in the Senate.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n His daughters were factors in this too, Ossoff said, inspiring him to start digging into foster care and military family housing in the first place.\n <\/p>\n

\n Saying no, over and over, to the 2028 draft\n<\/h2>\n

\n From the cut-out \u201cO\u201d signs of Ossoff\u2019s logo\u2014a little darker blue than Obama\u2019s, the red-and-white stripes cross the center instead of forming the horizon\u2014waving behind him at the rally, or walking off stage to the same song Stevie Wonder performed at the opening of the 44th president\u2019s new library in Chicago, Ossoff can seem like he\u2019s purposefully stoking presidential chatter that has already ranged from a feature in the New York Times to Hasan Piker, a prominent left-wing streamer with a history of inflammatory remarks, calling the senator his \u201cdark horse\u201d for 2028.\n <\/p>\n

\n A young White guy with proven appeal to Black voters, a supporter of the immigration detention legislation named for the killed Georgia student Laken Riley but also a fierce critic of how far Trump has gone, a Jewish son of an immigrant who supports the security of the Israeli people yet voted early to cut arms funding to Israel and a Democrat who can win in actually tough territory: the logic seems so obvious that the excitement is already spreading, and advisers to potential rivals told CNN they\u2019re already beginning to consider what taking him on might mean.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cIt\u2019s in my Twitter algorithm and I watch it, and I\u2019ve seen him in person and he\u2019s really, really good at that,\u201d said Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly, another friend in the chamber who told CNN in January he is actively looking at a 2028 run, but who\u2019s bonded with Ossoff over their time together on the Intelligence Committee and occasionally about flying (Kelly was a Navy pilot and astronaut; Ossoff got his private pilot\u2019s license in high school).\n <\/p>\n

\n But Ossoff insists he\u2019s not interested and that attention across the board should be on 2026. \u201cI think we should judge these prospective presidential candidates by how much they\u2019re doing to help us win battleground states and front-line congressional races to restore checks and balances. That to me will be the mark of their engagement with the political necessity of the moment,\u201d he said.\n <\/p>\n

\n Several of those prospective candidates have already been through Georgia. More have been reaching out. But pressed on whether that same standard for potential presidential candidates might apply to him as the one actually on the ballot in his battleground state, Ossoff didn\u2019t bite.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cWe have to win this Senate race and we have to win those battleground House races because if we don\u2019t restore checks and balances, I\u2019m not sure we have another chance to,\u201d he said.\n <\/p>\n

\n He\u2019s as uninterested in sounding off on the broader Democratic identity crisis or telling other Democrats what to say and do, like when asked about last week\u2019s democratic socialist spike in New York City.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cI don\u2019t spend much time thinking about factional, Democratic politics,\u201d he said, because while the divide exists, \u201cit exists more in those places and for those people and groups for whom the Democratic primary is the horizon of politics.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n When pressed on Israel or immigration policy \u2013 two issues dividing the country and the Democratic primary season \u2013 Ossoff also stays tight on message, stressing both the dignity of every human being and acknowledging a need for safety and security in the US and other countries.\n <\/p>\n

\n That\u2019s the kind of disciplined response that made rounds online a few weeks ago when a TMZ reporter pressed Ossoff on Trump\u2019s new derogatory nickname for him. In the clip, Ossoff listened with an attentive but unmoving expression, then responded by ticking through a few ways the president is \u201cdisgraced\u201d before slipping in a plug to his campaign website.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cI am disciplined, and I have an obligation to defend this seat,\u201d he told CNN. \u201cAnd in the defense of this seat, with real electoral stakes, discipline is a virtue.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Working the rope line after Saturday\u2019s rally, Ossoff stopped for a moment to reflect on the way the crowd had responded. Online, as usual, the speech would quickly take off \u2013 Obama administration alumni and \u201cPod Save America\u201d host Tommy Vietor summarized his sentiment: \u201cI want to roll this speech up and smoke it.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cEvery single one of these, the intensity is growing. People are starting to feel that the moment is at hand when they can use their power as citizens to turn things around,\u201d Ossoff told CNN at the side of the stage.\n <\/p>\n

\n He was rushing off to catch a flight back to his wife and daughters, planning to largely disappear from the political conversation until he pops up for his next rally in a few weeks.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cI think about what kind of world I want them to grow up in. Every one of these gives me hope and confidence that we\u2019re going to be able to make a major statement and a big difference this fall.\u201d\n <\/p>
