Senator Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.) said the economic challenges posed by President Donald Trump’s “chaotic and uncertainty” are the biggest problems facing Tao State, emphasizing that the president’s uncertain economic policies are affecting how businesses and residents make decisions for the future.

Ossoff is poised to run for reelection in 2026, potentially facing Georgia's popular Republican Governor Brian Kemp, who has yet to announce whether he will play. Ossoff is the only Democrat seeking reelection to represent the state Trump won last year, making him the biggest target for Republicans looking to maintain a Senate majority.

"I'm ready for any challenger," Ossoff, 38, told the Associated Press on Saturday, while declining to comment on any potential rivals.

Ossoff defeated incumbent Republican Senator David Perdue in a runoff in 2021, helping Democrats take control of the Senate and maintain a four-year majority during the Biden administration.

During his first four years, Ossoff sought to build a reputation as a senator who worked to promote traditional Georgia interests, including its peasants and military bases. He said he would try to work with Republicans to send it to Georgia.

The senator, who recently stepped up criticism of Trump, warned that on Saturday, businesses and families in Georgia were working to plan for the future as the federal government's trade and economic migration continued to change.

"Businesses cannot invest in international trade rules from an hour, a week or a month to the next," Ossoff told the Associated Press. "Families cannot plan their annual budgets because there is a lot of confusion and uncertainty in implementing federal economic policies."

"This administration needs to clearly define its economic goals, and whatever the plan is, it needs to be competent for its plans," he continued. "The White House doesn't even know what its policies are, and this unpredictability and chaos is the fact that from one policy to another puts the state's economy at a serious economic risk."

Ossoff also expressed concerns about Trump's authoritarian and "non-American" execution actions, noting the president's attempt to hunt down his political rivals since returning to the White House in January.

"We have never seen the president try to wield the federal government to smash his critics and political opponents," Ossoff said. "This is something new in American history, and in my opinion, it is non-American. No matter our political preferences, it should put us in the bones, no matter our politics."

Lawmakers urge Republicans to remember that eventually Democrats will be president again, "the shoes will be on the other foot."

“It’s about checking and balancing,” he said. “It’s about whether the executive is restricted by the design of our constitution and these wise legislators can make their partisans to protect the public interest.”

Ossoff explained that while Democrats have limited power without controlling the White House or the Congressional Chamber, a large part of his work is to inform the people of Georgia that Trump’s policies are not in the state’s best interests.

In addition to criticism of Trump, Ossov also cites shortcomings during the Biden administration, especially in terms of border security. He is one of 12 Democrats who voted for the Lekken Riley Act, which was murdered by Venezuelan immigrant Jose Antonio Ibarra after a Georgia nursing student.

The law requires alleged illegal immigrants to be charged with theft or violent crimes to be detained by the Department of Homeland Security.

“My point is that the American people expect and deserve safe borders,” Ossoff said. “And I think the Biden administration’s border policy has failed. The people the American people expect and deserve are people who enter the country illegally and may pose a threat to public safety or national security.”

"But the American people do not support it, nor do they expect the federal police to attack elementary schools, hospitals and churches," he continued. "And (the American people) don't expect our military facilities to be a massive prison camp for immigrants, nor do they want the entire family to have no proper procedures. We just learned yesterday that a two-year-old American citizen (a two-year-old girl) was deported without due process. Our immigration policy requires responsible and serious people. It also requires humanity."
