Ossoff, Collins Clash in Final Georgia Senate Debate as Early Voting Opens Before Nov. 3

3 articles · Updated · The New York Times · Oct 14

Summary

  • Tuesday’s second and final Georgia Senate debate gave Mike Collins a sharper, more aggressive closing-stage performance against Democratic incumbent Jon Ossoff.
  • Polls suggest Collins is trailing, and Republicans have already pulled some advertising money from the race, increasing pressure on him to sway independent voters before Nov. 3.
  • Collins framed the contest as “Georgia and Georgetown,” attacked Ossoff over inflation, border policy and social media, and tried to tie him to Jeffrey Epstein.
  • The exchange was less centered on the high-costs attacks Ossoff has used throughout the campaign, as Georgians began early in-person voting the same day.
