How each side sees it
Ossoff saysPresident Trump's tariffs and the Medicaid cuts Collins voted for are raising costs for Georgia families, and he would repeal both. He called the Iran war a disaster.
Collins saysInflation came from the Biden administration and green energy policies, health costs rose because of the Affordable Care Act, and the president has the right to keep Iran's leaders from getting a nuclear weapon.
