Georgia Sen. Jon Ossoff's reelection blocked a targeted effort by Republicans to pick up a Senate seat.

The Democrat's victory over Republican Mike Collins is a notable turnabout from last year, when Republicans were optimistic about the state, given that Trump carried it narrowly in the 2024 presidential race.
Instead, Ossoff dominated in fundraising throughout the campaign. Republican groups supporting Collins pulled back their spending in mid-October, signaling the race was likely lost.
Democrats' hope of gaining the majority is premised on holding seats in Georgia, Michigan and New Hampshire.
