Trump blasts top Democrat in Georgia special election

2017-04-18 8

President Trump ripped apart Jon Ossoff, the leading Democratic candidate in Georgia's special congressional election. "While I'm glad the President is interested in the race, he is misinformed. I'm focused on bringing fresh leadership, accountability, and bipartisan problem solving to Washington to cut wasteful spending," Ossoff told NBC in response. While the 30-year-old collected at least $8.3 million in campaign contributions, recent polls shows Ossoff is running several points below 50 percent.
