Conservative radio host stings GOP with surprise endorsement in Georgia Senate race

Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) got a shot in the arm for his campaign this week, as he picked up a surprising endorsement from a conservative talk radio host.Shelley Wynter, a prominent Black conservative radio personality, was a significant backer of right-wing Gov. Brian Kemp in 2022. This time, however, he is crossing the aisle, according to Patricia Murphy of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.I'm here to tell you live on the radio that I am Team Ossoff for the rest of the summer, and I will do everything I can possible on this show to get you re-elected, said Wynter. I see re-elections as a job interview, and in my humble opinion, I've seen nothing from Senator Jon Ossoff that requires me to say you're fired from the job. So you've got my support. I endorse you.He went on to add that, Everything I'm hearing, everything you're doing, everything you've done, I agree with. I have some minor disagreements on some smaller issues, but on the big things, I'm on your team.Ossoff, who flipped his seat in a 2021 runoff, is the only Democratic senator seeking reelection in a state Trump carried in 2024, making Georgia a top GOP target. He faces Republican Rep. Mike Collins, who won the June 16 primary runoff after a late Trump endorsement.
