Georgia Sen. Jon Ossoff says Trump’s ‘chaos and uncertainty’ leading to economic challenges
Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga., said the economic challenge sparked by President Donald Trump’s «chaos and uncertainty» is the biggest issue facing the Peach State, stressing that the president’s uncertain economic policy is impacting how businesses and residents make decisions for the future.
Ossoff, preparing to run for re-election in 2026, potentially against Georgia’s popular Republican Gov. Brian Kemp, who has yet to announce if he will join the race. Ossoff is the only Democrat seeking reelection who represents a state that Trump won last year, making him a top target for Republicans hoping to maintain their Senate majority.
«I am more than prepared for any challenger,» Ossoff, 38, told The Associated Press on Saturday while declining to comment on any potential opponents.
Ossoff defeated incumbent Republican Sen. David Perdue in a runoff in 2021, helping Democrats flip control of the Senate and hold onto the chamber’s majority for four years during the Biden administration.
SENATOR JOINS GROUP OF FAR-LEFT LAWMAKERS WHO THINK TRUMP HAS — AGAIN — COMMITTED IMPEACHABLE OFFENSES

During his first four years, Ossoff attempted to establish a reputation as a senator working to advance Georgia’s traditional interests, including its farmers and military bases. He says he will attempt to work with Republicans to deliver for Georgia.
The senator, who has recently intensified his criticisms of Trump, warned Saturday that businesses and households in Georgia are struggling to plan for the future because of constant changes in the federal government’s trade and economic moves.
«Businesses are unable to invest with an understanding of what the rules of international trade will be from one hour or week or month to the next,» Ossoff told The Associated Press. «Households are unable to plan their annual budgets because there’s so much chaos and uncertainty in the implementation of federal economic policy.»
«This administration needs to clearly define its economic objectives, and it needs to competently implement its plan, whatever that plan may be,» he continued. «The fact that the White House does not even know what its policy is, and is with such unpredictability and chaos, lurching from one policy to the other, is putting the state’s economy at serious economic risk.»

Ossoff also expressed concerns about Trump’s authoritarian and «un-American» executive action since returning to the White House in January, pointing to the president’s attempts to go after his political opponents.
«We have never seen a president try to wield the federal government to crush his critics and political adversaries,» Ossoff said. «That’s something new in American history, and it is, in my view, un-American. And it’s something that should chill us to the bone, no matter our politics, no matter our policy preferences.»
The lawmaker urged Republicans to remember that eventually a Democrat will be president again and «the shoe will be on the other foot.»
«This is about checks and balances,» he said. «This is about whether or not the executive branch is constrained as designed by our Constitution, by judicious legislators who can put their partisanship aside to protect the public interest.»
Ossoff explained that, while Democrats have limited power without control of the White House or either chamber of Congress, a big part of his job at the moment is to inform the people of Georgia that Trump’s policies are not in the state’s best interest.

In addition to his criticism of Trump, Ossoff has cited shortcomings during the Biden administration, particularly when it comes to border security. He was one of 12 Democrats who voted for the Laken Riley Act, named after a Georgia nursing student murdered by Venezuelan migrant Jose Antonio Ibarra.
The law requires illegal migrants accused — even without a conviction — of theft or violent crimes to be detained by the Department of Homeland Security.
«My view is that the American people expect and deserve secure borders,» Ossoff said. «And I think the Biden administration failed in its border policies. The American people expect and deserve for people who enter this country illegally and may pose a threat to public safety or national security to be apprehended by the authorities.»

«But the American people don’t support and don’t expect federal police raids on elementary schools and hospitals and churches,» he continued, referring to the Trump administration’s controversial immigration enforcement actions. «And [the American people] don’t expect our military installations to become mass prison camps for immigrants and don’t want entire families rounded up with no due process. We just learned yesterday about a two-year-old U.S. citizen — a two-year-old girl — who was deported without due process. Our immigration policy needs to be responsible and serious. It also needs to be humane.»

Gavin Newsom mocked for tech issues during anti-Trump address to Californians: ‘Absolute fail’
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
California Gov. Gavin Newsom is being mocked online for an «embarrassing» televised address on Tuesday night that experienced several technology meltdowns, resulting in the governor not being audible for parts of his speech.
In a prerecorded message, Newsom, a Democrat rumored to have presidential aspirations, harshly condemned President Donald Trump’s «brazen abuse of power» by using the military to respond to the ongoing anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles. He also said that those who engage in violence will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
«This isn’t just about protests here in Los Angeles,» Newsom said in the video. «This is about all of us. This is about you. California may be first, but it clearly will not end here. Other states are next. Democracy is next. Democracy is under assault before our eyes.»
His address, however, was inhibited by several technical issues, which resulted in his audio being cut off and distorted several times.

Noting the meltdown on X, David Freeman, a conservative political commentator, mocked «Gavin Newsom’s staff can’t even set up a stream properly as his ‘Major Announcement’ has NO AUDIO.»
«If they can’t do this correct, what makes anyone believe they can run California at all? EMBARRASSING!» said Freeman.
«UTTER CALAMITY,» commented Link Lauren, a political commentator and former senior advisor to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Kevin Dalton, a popular conservative influencer, commented, «Gavin Newsom’s ‘Major Address to Californians’ was a prerecorded video that was initially streamed without audio. After several minutes, a new color corrected version of the same video with actual audio was started. What an absolute fail.»

Another popular conservative social media account, The Washington Observer, commented: «Sean Hannity is desperately trying to play Gavin Newsom’s speech — but he can’t, because Newsom’s audio is melting down for the third time tonight.»
Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., who observed the audio issues in real time on the «Sean Hannity Show,» also chimed in, saying, «So, I went on Sean Hannity to react to Gavin Newsom’s speech. Turns out, it was a total mess. Disorganized. Bad audio.»
Mullin quipped, «But, what else should we expect from this poor excuse for a leader?»
White House assistant to the president and director of communications Steven Cheung also piled onto the criticism, accusing Newsom of spending time creating the video rather than serving as governor. Likewise, Cheung took a swipe at the video’s audio, claiming the production quality was akin to Newsom’s leadership.
«Gavin NewScum spent all this time–instead of doing his actual job– preparing for a webinar just for the audio to not work,» Cheung said in a post on X late Tuesday evening. «The production quality is just like his leadership quality– s—ty.»

Deputy assistant to the president and principal deputy communications director Alex Pfeiffer responded to Newsom’s speech by saying that rather than Trump, «California is trying to subvert democracy.»

«American voters elected President Donald Trump to carry out his agenda, which includes enforcing the immigration laws passed by their elected representatives,» said Pfeiffer.
In response, Newsom’s press office referred Fox News Digital to a Tuesday night X post, which acknowledged the issues by saying, «Sorry for the momentary silence earlier — our stream briefly went under Trump-era transparency rules.»
