Rep. Buddy Carter, R-Ga., isn’t mincing words — he’s coming for Sen. Jon Ossoff’s seat, and he’s bringing his America First boots with him.
Speaking to Newsmax on Friday, Carter made it crystal clear why he’s jumping into the race: Georgia needs a real-deal conservative in the Senate, not some polished liberal puppet.
“We need a MAGA warrior in the Senate who is going to deliver on President [Donald] Trump’s America First policies and his agenda,” Carter declared on National Report.
According to Carter, Ossoff isn’t just another Democrat — he’s a full-blown roadblock to everything President Trump stands for.
“Who’s going to be for you?” Carter asked. “Not a trans warrior who supports having biological men in girls’ sports and is for they/them. I’m for you. And Jon Ossoff is for them. He’s not for you.”
Boom. Mic drop.
Carter pointed out that Trump didn’t just win Georgia — he dominated. And now, Georgians deserve someone in D.C. who’s not afraid to stand up and say, “America First, baby.”
“[Trump] deserves someone from Georgia and Georgians deserve someone who’s going to support him and his America First agenda,” Carter said.
But Carter warned that Ossoff isn’t backing down without a fight. “He’s going to fight that. That’s not what Georgians need,” he added.
This isn’t Carter’s first time thinking about a Senate run. He considered it back in 2021 but sat it out. This time, though, the stars have aligned — and he’s all in.
“Our governor, Brian Kemp, a good friend and a great candidate, decided not to run, and we’ve got to have someone who can win,” Carter said. “We’ve got to have someone who can take Jon Ossoff out, and I’m the one who can do that.”
Now, Carter knows Ossoff isn’t some political lightweight. The guy’s got deep pockets and Hollywood cheerleaders.
“He’s got a lot of money,” Carter admitted. “He’s got a lot of support nationwide. That’s why we’ve got to have the strongest candidate. We need to coalesce around one candidate and make sure that we put our best candidate forward.”
Translation? The gloves are off, and Buddy Carter’s ready to bring the heat — Georgia-style.
