Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) rebuffed speculation about his aims on the 2028 presidential election, countering that he was focused on the 2026 midterm elections.

The Georgia senator pleaded ignorance when asked about such plans in an interview on MS NOW, claiming he has no intention to pursue higher office.
