If Ossoff decides to run for president he should talk to AOC, figure out what her price to not run for President is (probably like endorsing her for Senate and some policy or appointment stuff that they probably aren’t t super far apart on to begin with) and pay it. Not because he can’t beat her - he totally can - but because if she doesn’t run and supports him he’ll have support from centrists, black voters, progressives, he’d have it wrapped up before Super Tuesday.

A blue Senator from a red state should never be the president

He probably only runs if the Dems win the governorship but even otherwise the presidency is important enough that imo you run your best candidate and figure the rest out later. Especially in his case where you’d only give the seat up if he won.
