Senator Jon Ossoff criticized former President Donald Trump as a 'lifelong racist,' linking Trump's refusal to accept his 2020 election loss to Black voters in Georgia with broader concerns about voting rights and Supreme Court appointments.

He also addressed foreign policy issues, including potential limits on U.S. aid to Israel, the risks of conflict with Iran, and corruption in the Trump family’s overseas business ventures.
