A flip-flopper, Ossoff has called for "unity" despite once saying regarding [[Donald Trump]] and his supporters: "You’re going to get beaten so bad you can never run or show your face in public."<ref>[https://townhall.com/tipsheet/guybenson/2020/11/11/dem-in-ga-runoff-we-need-to-beat-trumpers-so-badly-theyll-never-show-their-faces-in-public-again-n2579815 Dem in GA Runoff: We Need to Beat Trumpers So Badly That They'll Never Show Their Faces in Public Again]</ref>
Ossoff made a baseless claim in an appearance on [[MSNBC]] in late November 2020 that Republicans "trying to undermine the results of the election here is a brazen and direct attack on the voting rights of black voters in Georgia."<ref>[https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2020/11/22/ossoff-we-need-a-new-voting-rights-act-and-a-new-civil-rights-act/ Ossoff: We Need a New Voting Rights Act and a New Civil Rights Act]</ref>

===General election===
While Perdue initially held a significant lead over Ossoff on election night with a majority of the votes cast, it shrunk as more "votes" likely fraudulent were being counted, and Ossoff later only trailed by 1.8%.<ref>[https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2020-elections/georgia-senate-results Georgia Senate Election Results 2020]</ref> Since neither side got a majority of the vote, a runoff will be held under state law to determine who will serve in the Senate seat.<ref>[https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/nov/6/jon-ossoff-david-perdue-set-georgia-senate-runoff-/ AP: Jon Ossoff, David Perdue set for Georgia Senate runoff]</ref>
