Did you ever see \u2018Pinky Herman?\u201d Trump asked supporters at a rally near Atlanta last week, in an apparent mistaken reference to the film character Pee-wee Herman.<\/p>\n<p>But Georgia, where Trump has backed self-described \u201cMAGA warrior\u201d Mike Collins, is far from the only problem. <\/p>\n<p>The latest <i>Sabato Crystal Ball<\/i>, the weekly newsletter founded by veteran political analyst Larry Sabato, also pushed five Republican-held House seats towards Democrats, including the New York district of Trump ally Mike Lawler.<\/p>\n<p>This brings the number of \u201ctoss-up\u201d districts to 20 and underscores headwinds for a White House grappling with voter anger over everything from affordability and the war in Iran.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Democratic lead is certainly more robust now than it would have been for Republicans in 2022,\u201d Sabato\u2019s Crystal Ball managing editor Kyle Kondik told the Daily Beast, a reference to the last midterm elections when many at the time expected a Republican \u201cred wave\u201d. <\/p>\n<p>He added that Ossoff had also run a strong campaign against Collins, who has faced heavy scrutiny over alleged ties to neo-Nazi propaganda, including his son-in-law\u2019s online white nationalist activity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think if we got to November and John Ossoff lost, it would be a huge surprise,\u201d Kondik said.<\/p>\n<p>A CNN poll recently placed Ossoff as the new frontrunner for the 2028 presidential nomination, surging ahead of another popular Democrat, California Governor Gavin Newsom.<\/p>\n<p>The rising fortunes of the 39-year-old Democrat are somewhat surprising given Georgia\u2019s history, where only three Democratic presidents have won the state: native son Jimmy Carter, southerner Bill Clinton, and Joe Biden.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=4596\">This Is the Graphic Proof That McConnell Scandal Is Just the Start<\/a><\/p>\n<p>But Ossoff has been a prolific fundraiser appealing to both the Democratic base and swing voters while building a reputation holding Trump and his officials to account.<\/p>\n<p>This month, for instance, Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth was left stumbling after Ossoff used the defense secretary\u2019s own words on the Iran war to give him a blistering grilling on Capitol Hill.<\/p>\n<p>The Democrat also had another viral moment taking Trump\u2019s nominee for Director of National Intelligence to task over the president\u2019s debunked claims about 2020 election fraud.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWho won the 2020 election?\u201d Ossoff asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not going to do this with you,\u201d said Clayton, sparking several rounds of back-and-forth before Ossoff went for the mic-drop moment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou refuse to answer a basic question about who won a presidential election, but you ask to lead America\u2019s intelligence community.
