Renew Deal

Jon Ossoff is running a pilot presidential campaign [View all]

Ossoff’s speech quality and production rival high end Democratic presidential campaigns. His messaging is sharp and directed at Trump better than anything seen since 2020. He speaks about corruption, cronyism, and affordability. Appearance wise, he also puts on a good show. 39 and in good shape. He looks like what you would get if JFK and Carter had a baby.

He will be a compelling candidate if he chooses to run in 2028.
