MARIETTA, Georgia — Democrats aren't turned off by Republican incumbent Sen. David Perdue pegging challenger Jon Ossoff as a "radical" and a "socialist." In fact, that's what some Democrats like about him.
Perdue, a first-term senator and former business executive, is at risk of losing his seat to the documentary filmmaker less than a month before their Nov. 3 general election. And if neither one of them secures a majority of the vote then, their fight will continue until a Jan. 5 runoff.
If Ossoff's name sounds familiar, it's because he previously lost the high-profile 2017 special election for Georgia's 6th Congressional District after it was vacated by former Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price. At $50 million, it was the most expensive House race at the time.
While this cycle's contest has been largely overshadowed by another special election, the 21-candidate one to replace retired Sen. Johnny Isakson, that hasn't prevented Perdue's campaign for going after Ossoff. And going after Ossoff hard.
From his financial links to Hollywood and China, and an ad Ossoff blasted as "anti-Semitic" because it appeared to elongate his nose, Perdue has repeatedly reminded voters of Ossoff's connection to national Democrats and their liberal agenda.
"The road to socialism will never run through the state of Georgia," he told supporters this week at the first stop of his statewide bus tour.
Outside a trendy suburban food hall in Marietta, nestled in the heart of Georgia's 6th District, Amanda Smith, 28, bristled at the Republican approach.
The GOP was "making it out to be this horrible thing when really capitalism is failing us," the Marietta teacher told the Washington Examiner.

He will lose by 6 points
Does anyone else see the problem here???
Who will lose?
Ossoff
That turned out to be a mistake for more than one reason.
Yes, a “teacher” who doesn’t know anything, “teaching” pupils that are in their class.
“an ad Ossoff blasted as “anti-Semitic” because it appeared to elongate his nose”
No, just bad lighting, Jon.
You can’t make this stuff up. Can’t wait till the Babylon Bee gets hold of this.

The dumbing down of America continues unabated. Already 28 years old and still as dumb as a rock, aren’t you, Amanda?
Ossoff is the ultimate empty suit. He’s a sacrificial lamb this election, no chance of winning. If Biden wins he’ll probably end up with a State Dept job doing nothing. If Biden loses, the DNC will find something for him as a reward for taking one for the team.
GREAT ANSWER!
Ossoff - the original pajama boy.
Pinocchio wasn’t anti-Semitic.
I live in the heart of GA’s 6th district. He will lose
“Outside a trendy suburban food hall”
which is where we all know that most Georgia voters hang out ...
“Perdue, a first-term senator and former business executive, is at risk of losing his seat to the documentary filmmaker less than a month before their Nov. 3 general election”
The most recent AJC poll has Perdue up by 8 points. There will be a runoff in the other, so-called “jungle” election involving, among many others, Republicans Loeffler and Collins and Democrat Warnock. Warnock is in the lead with 28%, but Loeffler and Collins combine for nearly 50%. I think Collins would be stronger state-wide than Loeffler in a two-person run-off with Warnock.
Before we know it,big gap tooth will be running for guv again.
