The race to take on Sen. Jon Ossoff in Georgia grew Monday after state Insurance Commissioner John King entered the Republican primary.

Georgia Insurance Commissioner John King has became the second major Republican to enter the 2026 race to challenge Democratic U.S. Sen Jon Ossoff.

John King, Georgia’s insurance commissioner, has joined the Republican primary election in hopes of unseating Democratic U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff next year. Gov. Brian Kemp’s announcement last week that he would not be running for the Senate opened the door to a host of potential candidates.
