A Trump attack on Jon Ossoff in Thursday night's address could fuel the first Jewish presidencySubtitle:
Ossoff might be the Democrat that can thread the needle because even though hes Jewish, hes very critical of the Israeli government, very critical of Benjamin Netanyahu," said Messersmith.
Jon Ossoff, the Jewish senator from Georgia and the focus of speculation about a 2028 run for the presidency, is prepared to be the target of an address Thursday night by President Donald Trump.
Ossoff told reporters that if Trump, as expected, questions his and Sen. Raphael Warnocks 2021 election wins, then the president would be calling Georgia voters illegitimate.
Trump has repeatedly claimed without basis that his 2020 presidential election defeat in Georgia, and wins by Democrats Ossoff and Warnock in runoffs the following January, were rigged.

He has deployed federal law enforcement to Georgia to search for evidence of fraud, even though repeated probes have uncovered nothing.
The speech comes as Ossoff has gained national attention for his repeated attacks on the president in his reelection bid against Trump-endorsed Rep. Mike Collins...
...Jewish Insider reported that some Jewish Georgians are torn. Collins has faced accusations of antisemitism and having ties to the far right. Collins son-in-law is a white nationalist social media influencer who has shared antisemitic material and Nazi imagery, CNN reported on Thursday. Collins has said some of his own statements were misunderstood, and has defended himself by citing his support for Israel.
Donald Trumps handpicked candidate Mike Collins is a notorious bigot, antisemite, and extremist, Ossoff posted on social media last month.

There's a long road between here and there, but I for one, am impressed by this guy.
He says, much as Barack Obama said in 2006, that he's not running for President.
I am not backing anyone in 2028, but again, I like this guy's look.

They would go back to full anti-semitism.

Not only would we see an ugly increase in antisemitism, but there would also be accusations that a Jewish President would be beholden to israel, regardless, if the candidate was critical of Israel or not
