Georgia Sen. Jon Ossoff criticized President Donald Trump’s policies as chaotic and only benefiting the ultra-wealthy at a reelection rally in College Park over the weekend.

More than 1,400 supporters gathered at the Saturday afternoon rally, where Ossoff described how Trump’s policies, such as tariffs, government program cuts and immigration policy, are hurting Georgians. 

“Coffee is up 20%, ground beef, the power bill both up. I could go on, all in one year. Last month, more Americans lost their jobs than any January in 17 years,” Ossoff said. “And while prices are going up and jobs are getting harder to find, they decided to let health insurance premiums double for more than 20 million Americans, including more than a million Georgians.”
