Georgia Senate Candidate Mike Collins Accuses Jon Ossoff of Backing Extremist Muslim Socialist

Republican Senate candidate Mike Collins publicly attacked incumbent Senator Jon Ossoff for backing Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed, a Muslim socialist running for the U.S. Senate in Michigan. In a campaign statement, Collins described the endorsement as supporting extremist, anti-American and antisemitic elements. He further accused Ossoff of refusing to condemn Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the Muslim Brotherhood, a leader of a designated terrorist organization, and influencer Hasan Piker, who has made inflammatory statements about the United States and Israel.

Collins argued that Ossoff’s political survival depends on courting such radical figures. The exchange occurs as the Georgia Senate contest remains a narrow toss-up, with potential implications for partisan control of the Senate during the latter half of President Donald Trump’s second term. Polls show Ossoff with an average lead of 7.6 points, though the race is still considered highly competitive.
