Bipartisan Deal to End Shutdown Tests Ossoff’s Resolve

“The U.S. Senate reached a deal Sunday that would end the longest federal government shutdown in history. But they’ve done it without most Democrats, including Georgia U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff,” the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports.

“Ossoff’s decision makes him vulnerable to GOP attacks while pleasing the donors he needs to pay for what will likely be the nation’s toughest reelection campaign. He’s the only incumbent Democratic U.S. senator on the ballot next year in a state won by President Donald Trump, making him the top target of Republicans looking preserve their majority.”
