Sen. Jon Ossoff feels entitled to rule over everyday Americans — and Republican Mike Collins is calling him out.
Collins, running to unseat Ossoff in Georgia’s Senate race, unloaded on the Democrat during an exclusive interview on Breitbart News Daily. The interview comes as Republicans nationwide are working to flip Senate seats and secure a governing majority that could reshape policy on everything from economic regulation to housing development.
The Georgia Senate race has emerged as one of the most closely watched contests in the 2026 election cycle, with national implications that extend far beyond the Peach State’s borders. Georgia’s status as a battleground state has only intensified since Ossoff’s narrow victory in the 2021 runoff election, making this rematch a bellwether for the direction of American politics.
“He’s an elitist, and at the end of the day, he feels like he is entitled to be over everybody in this country [and] tell you what to do, tell you where to live, how much you can make, who’s going to provide your health care for you.”
Collins didn’t hold back.
“They don’t care anything about anything but power,” he said. “You know, no, we don’t want you owning a home. We want you living in apartments. That’s this guy, and we’ve got to expose this now.”
The stakes? Stopping Ossoff before his agenda becomes a national disaster.
The critique touches on growing concerns among conservatives about progressive policies that they argue restrict individual choice and property rights. Housing policy in particular has become a flashpoint in the debate between left and right, with Republicans arguing that Democratic policies favor high-density urban development over traditional homeownership — a cornerstone of the American Dream for generations.
Ossoff’s Radical Ties
Collins highlighted Ossoff’s recent endorsement of Abdul El Sayed, the Democrat Muslim Senate candidate running in Michigan.
The endorsement represents part of a broader pattern that Republicans say demonstrates Ossoff’s commitment to advancing a progressive agenda that’s out of step with Georgia values. El Sayed’s candidacy in Michigan has attracted national attention and drawn both enthusiastic support from the progressive wing of the Democratic Party and scrutiny from Republicans who view such endorsements as revealing of a politician’s true ideological leanings.
“They picked him up another one to get behind,” Collins said, referencing Ossoff’s pattern of backing far-left candidates. “Him going up there and supporting this guy and endorsing him tells everything you need to know.”
The Georgia Republican reminded listeners that Ossoff votes with Bernie Sanders 92 percent of the time.
That voting alignment places Ossoff squarely in the progressive camp of the Democratic caucus, according to Collins’ analysis. For context, Bernie Sanders has long been considered one of the Senate’s most liberal members, advocating for policies like Medicare for All, the Green New Deal, and significant expansion of the federal government’s role in healthcare, education, and economic regulation.
“Jon Ossoff votes 92 percent of the time with Bernie Sanders, and they’re auditioning, looking for the next Bernie to run this DSA movement.”
Collins pointed to the Democratic Socialists of America opening an office in Atlanta as proof of the left’s strategy.
“There’s a reason that DSA opened an office in Atlanta, Georgia,” he said. “Can you name another candidate that they’re going to go push? No, it’s him.”
The Democratic Socialists of America’s expansion into Georgia represents what conservatives see as an organized effort to transform the state’s political landscape. Atlanta, as Georgia’s largest city and economic hub, has increasingly become a focal point for progressive organizing efforts in the South, raising questions about whether urban-rural political divides will continue to widen in traditionally conservative states.
Ossoff Running From His Record
Collins noted that Ossoff seems desperate to “change the subject to anything he possibly can besides his record and besides what he’s actually trying to do.”
Translation: the Democrat knows Georgia voters are onto his radical agenda.
The accusation speaks to a common Republican criticism that Democrats in competitive states often campaign as moderates while governing from the left once in office. Collins’ strategy appears focused on tying Ossoff to the most progressive elements of the Democratic Party, making the case that his voting record tells a different story than his public messaging to Georgia voters.
Collins made clear the urgency of defeating Ossoff in Georgia “so this doesn’t become a problem for the entire country.”
With control of the Senate potentially hanging in the balance, the Georgia race carries implications for the legislative agenda of the next administration and the future composition of the federal judiciary. Collins is framing his challenge as not merely a state race, but as part of a national effort to check what he characterizes as dangerous progressive overreach.
