WATCH: On the First Day of GOTV Weekend, Sen. Ossoff Mobilizes Volunteers at Canvass Launch in Grant Park

Sen. Ossoff: “We’re here to get out the vote because there are literally just hours left in this thing — just a few days to go until we change the course of history and make a powerful statement about what Georgia stands for. The whole country is watching us right now. The stakes are truly historic, and you all have seen the mess, the foolishness, the incompetence, the corruption that has been imposed on our country from Washington these last two years.”

Atlanta, Ga. — On the first day of GOTV weekend, Senator Jon Ossoff mobilized volunteers in Grant Park before sending them off to knock doors for Democrats up and down the ballot. 

Recent reporting highlighted the high youth turnout as Black and young voters “are heading to the polls at a significantly faster clip than during the last midterm election,” according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The AJC outlined that “early in-person voting among Black Georgians is up 33% compared with the first nine days of voting in 2022, while turnout among voters under 30 has jumped 54%. Among young Black voters, the increase is an eye-popping 80%.”

A poll by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution shows Ossoff’s strength with a high approval rating of 55% including strong support from independents, even after Republicans have spent millions of dollars on TV and digital ads targeting him. 

Meanwhile, GOP U.S. Senate nominee Mike Collins’ scandal-ridden campaign continues to collapse around him, after bombshell CNN reporting revealed that Collins has continued to allow the production of white nationalist and antisemitic content from his property. CNN also unearthed as part of this reporting that Collins promoted political violence in shocking and previously unreported comments where he said that “American military and political leaders deserved to be hanged from a helicopter,” and joked about pushing former Speaker Nancy Pelosi out of an airplane — similar to when he said immigrants should be thrown from helicopters to their deaths. The reporting builds upon the widely-reported ties between Collins and white nationalism, highlighting Collins’ ongoing praise for and years-long friendship with Arizona state Sen. Wendy Rogers, “the outspoken far-right Republican who was censured by her own state’s Republican-led Senate in March 2022 after speaking at a White nationalist conference and making inflammatory statements about her political enemies.”

As part of today’s event in Grant Park, Sen. Ossoff met with volunteers before sending them off to knock doors for Democrats up and down the ballot.

Sen. Ossoff: “If we do everything that we need to do these next few days, we will deliver victories for the ages on Tuesday. And not only will we rebuke and contain the wicked president, the corrupt president, the failed president Donald Trump, we will begin the work of healing this country. We will begin the work of banning secret and corporate money from our politics — of restoring American leadership toward peace and human rights in the world — and of guaranteeing health care for every single American.”
