Incumbent Sen. John Ossoff, D-Ga., who has repeatedly shot down the prospect of mounting a 2028 presidential bid, reiterated his position during a Tuesday night Georgia U.S. Senate debate.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution chief political reporter Greg Bluestein pressed Ossoff about the issue during the Atlanta Press Club U.S. Senate debate at the Georgia Public Broadcasting studios.
„Senator Ossoff, you’ve repeatedly said you won’t run for president in 2028, but your name continues to surface as a potential contender,“ Bluestein said, adding, „So will you pledge right now tonight to serve your full six-year term if you win?“
„Yes, I will,“ Ossoff replied. „I have zero interest in running for president. I’m not running for president. I’m running for re-election to the Senate.“
