The National Republican Senators Committee (NRSC) has targeted Georgia Senator John Ossoff (D-Ga.) with a new digital ad over a vote on the GOP contrast bill to fund the government through September.
“D-Democrat John Ossoff voted for a reckless government shutdown that would hurt his family in Georgia,” the narrator.30 Second Spot say. “John Ossoff voted against increasing wages for the military and firefighters, opposed to funding border security. He even voted for veterans.”
The ad continues to accuse Ossov of caring more about fighting Trump than getting things done.
Ossov is undoubtedly the most vulnerable Democrat senator for reelection in 2026. The ad is the latest example of Republicans trying to pin votes to Democrats.
Earlier this week, the National Republican Congressional Committee rolled out its own digital ads targeting House Democrats who voted against the measure.
The ads that hit Ossoff will allow the Senate to avoid government shutdowns by voting 54-46, allowing Republicans to focus on enacting President Trump's agenda before fighting the next fall.
In a statement describing the vote for the bill, Ossov said, “The best solution available is a 30-day suspension funding measure to avoid closures.”
“Among the risks to Georgia in the GOP's partisan budget proposal, NIH research into diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and maternal mortality, funding for the prevention of violence against women, and funding for the construction of water infrastructure for Army engineers,” Ossoff said.
“The House bill has also failed to impose restrictions on the irresponsible, reckless and out of control on the Trump administration. The administration is repelling the CDC and the VA while shaking the economy unstable. Both parties in Congress must fulfill their constitutional obligation to check the president,” he continued.
Ossoff voted against the measure with the majority of his Democratic colleagues, but 10 Democrat senators, including minority leader Chuck Schumer (DN.Y.), voted to advance the final vote action.
In a speech on the Senator's floor, Schumer called the House Act “very bad,” but said the outcome of the government's closure was “a lot worse.”
