"The Number One Prospect": Why We Should All Have Our Eyes on Sen. Jon Ossoff

Apr 20, 2026

High praise from The Save America Movement's Steve Schmidt, who calls Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) the "Tom Brady" of the Democratic Party. Steve and Dean Blundell explain why he's breaking through with voters not just in Georgia, but across the country -- with messaging that calls out the corruption of the Trump Administration in no uncertain terms.

1. Where does he stand on Gaza/AIPAC/Netanyahu and etc.?

I know he's Jewish, and I don't want to jump to conclusions, but I don't know much about his political views. Thanks in advance.

2. Israel is targeting him for opposing war on Iran

Also, he accepted less in donations from Israel-centric lobbies than his GA counterpart, Sen Warnock. If this is a purity test, there are other Democratic contenders.

6. Thanks for the info. Not a purity test, just wanting to know more about where he stands. I've already donated.

3. He's Jewish, but not an Israeli. And even among Israelis,

not all support Netanyahu.

4. So true, it's an important, and not a well known point. n/t

5. I don't know about it being not well known.

It is known if people are able to see distinctions and not give in to assumptions or ether/or stereotyping.

8. There are even a few Orthodox Jews

That don’t support Netanyahu, not many. More Secular are the sane ones in almost every religion.

10. He's accepted $5,280,917 from the Israel lobby

according to TrackAIPAC.com. Only Raphael Warnock has received more ($6,121,706), and, not including Warnock, Ossoff has received more than the remaining 14 Republican and Democratic members from Georgia combined ($5,079,242).

11. Thanks for this concrete info and link. It's what I was afraid of. :-(

14. Is Accepting AIPAC Money in the Past the New Purity Test for the Left?

I'd guess most politicians (right and left) have accepted AIPAC money. That was their strategy, donate to every elected official. $6000 donations are not enough to buy a Senator?

7. Tom Brady? The guy that cheated to win football games?

Bad comparison. I think Ossoff is better than that.

12. I'm from New England, so I have to respond to this comment.

Here's a brief analysis of the Deflategate scandal. Skim through it to see how easily the case against Brady can be debunked.

And FWIW, the legal team that represented the NFL against Brady is the same team that defended tobacco companies and asbestos manufacturers against liability claims. Just sayin'....

9. I've watched some of his short videos, lately, and find him impressive.

13. So we should take advice from a guy who helped George W Bush get into office.
