Public disputes concerning the 2026 U.S. midterm election cycle, including campaigns, candidates, conventions, advertising, endorsements, and election-related policy promises.
Case
At an Atlanta rally, Jon Ossoff said Donald Trump wanted to “travel with Natalie” on a Qatari aircraft instead of doing presidential work. Trump allies alleged misogyny and an affair insinuation; Ossoff defended scrutiny of powerful, taxpayer-paid aides.
Case
At an August 11 event, Mike Collins said the federal government has a liability when it harms someone, answering a pardoned January 6 defendant’s question about compensation. Jon Ossoff called that support for taxpayer-funded payments to violent participants; Collins’s campaign denied automatic or blanket payouts.
Case
Jon Ossoff’s campaign used Mike Collins’s “get off of Social Security” remark to say he would push beneficiaries off the program. Collins’s campaign said he misspoke and meant Medicaid; Ossoff’s campaign said the ad fairly reflected his support for pressuring beneficiaries into work.
Case
Hasan Piker said he preferred Hamas over Israel in a hypothetical, using lesser-evil reasoning. Jon Favreau and the ADL rejected the comparison; Piker later acknowledged Hamas war crimes while maintaining that Israeli occupation was his overriding concern.
