The Democratic Party’s next Obama, Ossoff’s chances of being re-elected as senator and winning the White House are increasing

The British "Independent" reported that U.S. Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff of Georgia was successfully re-elected in the midterm election. He was hailed as the "next Obama" and his chances of becoming the next U.S. president also increased significantly.

According to the British "Independent" (Independent), Ossoff easily defeated his Republican opponent Mike Collins in the Georgia Senate race, which is crucial to the Democratic Party, winning more than 2.4 million votes and a vote rate of 58.9%.

Ossoff, 39, was first elected to the Senate in the second round of the runoff in 2021. He is the youngest member of the Senate and has been compared to former US President Barack Obama.

Obama is good at speeches, and his political appeals are both progressive and centrist. In an era of aging presidents, Obama represents the choice of the younger generation.

According to reports, Ossoff's current chance of winning the Democratic presidential nomination has risen to 24%, an increase of 9 percentage points in the past day.

His chance of winning the 2028 presidential election is currently 18%, up from 10.5% the day before, 4 percentage points higher than Democratic New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and 5 percentage points higher than Vice President J.D. Vance.

Ossoff has now surpassed California Governor Gavin Newsom. Newsom was once the clear favorite for the Democratic presidential nomination. On the prediction market platform Polymarket, his chance of qualifying was once as high as 40%, but later dropped to 15%. (Compiled by: Chen Zhengjian)
