Obama to Campaign in Georgia With Sen. Ossoff as Midterms Near; State GOP Launches Website
Photo: The Daily SignalFormer President Barack Obama is set to campaign in Georgia on Wednesday evening in Morrow, south of Atlanta, as the midterm elections approach. He is scheduled to appear with Sen. Jon Ossoff and former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, according to the articles, which describe the trip as an effort to build support for Ossoff and other Democrats.
One report noted that Obama did not win Georgia when he ran for president, though it said he performed well in parts of the state; the excerpt cuts off before saying where. Ahead of the rally, the Georgia Republican Party launched a website that it says highlights Ossoff's failures and his ties to the Democratic Socialists of America, or DSA. The party's criticism holds that Ossoff masks his record and how he represents Georgians.
The right-leaning Daily Signal leads with the Republican side of the story. Its headline puts the Georgia GOP's new website, with its claims about Ossoff's "failures" and DSA ties, ahead of the Obama rally, and its opening lines describe Ossoff as popular among the nation's socialists and as hiding his record. It treats the Obama visit as the backdrop and gives the event's location and the Bottoms appearance. The left-leaning CBS News frames the story as a straightforward campaign preview. Its headline says Obama is campaigning for Democrats in Georgia ahead of the midterms, and its excerpt says he is preparing to hit the road, with a reporter named Skyler Henry providing the report. It includes no Republican criticism of Ossoff in the excerpt. The two sides agree on the basic event, an Obama campaign trip in Georgia before the midterms, and differ mainly in emphasis: the right focuses on attacking Ossoff's record, while the left focuses on the visit itself and its broader Democratic aim. NewsNation's coverage largely matches CBS's neutral tone, focusing on Ossoff and Obama's past performance in Georgia.
How the sides differ Right sources stress a Georgia GOP website attacking Ossoff's record and DSA ties; left and alternative sources simply report Obama's Georgia campaign trip.
