The tea ☕

In July 2026, CNN reported that Collins's son-in-law ran social media accounts that pushed white nationalist and antisemitic content. Collins said his son-in-law has no role in the campaign and that he condemns racism and antisemitism. Ossoff pressed him about it more than a dozen times in their first debate.
In August 2026, photos surfaced of a former Collins campaign staffer posing in a Ku Klux Klan uniform. The campaign called the posts 'vile' and said he no longer works there.
The House Ethics Committee is investigating Collins and his former chief of staff over about $5,000 paid to an intern for work she did not do. Collins calls it a bogus complaint, and there is no final decision yet.
In the debate, Collins demanded Ossoff return money from Reid Hoffman, who met Jeffrey Epstein and says he regrets it. Hoffman gave $7,000 to Ossoff and $1 million to a PAC tied to him. Hoffman has not been accused of wrongdoing.
The debates got personal. Ossoff said Collins 'hired half the Third Reich' for his office. Collins called Ossoff a 'coward' and a 'globe-trotting trust fund kid.'
In May 2026, Collins's official account posted a crude comment about a rival adviser's wife. Collins apologized and fired a staffer.
Reputable outlets have not reported a scandal in Ossoff's Senate record. His older controversies include living just outside the district he ran in during 2017 and using family money to fund his media company.
