Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.) quickly attacked a bombshell report claiming that President Donald Trump will announce that Georgia’s 2020 election results were “illegitimate because of fraud,” prompting the senator to take a jab at the president’s “spiral.”

“Donald Trump’s spiral continues,” Ossoff wrote on X. “The failed president, pocketing billions as he drives up prices, is afraid to lose the midterms. So he will reheat debunked election conspiracy theories and tell bizarre new lies to deny his 2020 defeat and attack voting rights.”

Ossoff and fellow Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) won by narrow margins in 2020 following runoffs, but ahead of the midterms on Monday, right-wing news site The Washington Reporter claimed that Trump will announce that the two lawmakers’ wins were illegitimate, pushing a debunked conspiracy theory.

This comes as the president announced on Truth Social Monday that he plans to speak to the nation Thursday evening.

Citing an anonymous Georgia Republican, The Washington Reporter told followers on X that “Trump’s speech will not focus on Georgia’s 2020 elections,” but that their source was “notified of speech and the upcoming report’s initial Georgia election focus in advance.”

Ossoff calls Trump’s reported announcement a disaster for his “puppet” Mike Collins, whom he will face in the midterms.

“Already mired in scandal, Mike will now have to double down on conspiracy theories toxic in the General Election,” Ossoff said. “From the start, Trump’s obsession with Georgia elections revealed his fury that Black voters were instrumental to his defeat.“

Warnock also lashed out at Trump following the report, claiming that he “is trying to cast doubt on 2020 to justify interfering in 2026.”

Warnock wrote in a separate post, “Mr. President, instead of attacking our democracy, why don’t you do something about the high cost of gas, housing, and health care?”
