Who is Jon Ossoff, the Democrats' rising star who could be America's first Jewish president?
The Georgia senator boasts looks ‘like a Kennedy’ and a revered civil rights leader as a mentor, but has walked a political tightrope over criticism of Israel and the two-state solution
Assessment
Jon Ossoff is being profiled as a potential future presidential contender, but the piece signals a tension in his political brand. He has the polish and mentorship of a civil rights icon, yet his stance on Israel and the two-state solution has required careful navigation. The question is whether his balancing act can survive a national primary where both pro-Israel and progressive voters demand clarity. Watch how he handles the next Gaza crisis or congressional resolution on Israel.
