Sen. Ossoff rejects Biden's baseball boycott in Georgia over new voting law
Fox News
Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga., said he won't support moving Major League Baseball's All-Star game out of Georgia in protest of the state's new divisive voting law.
"I absolutely oppose and reject any notion of boycotting Georgia," Ossoff said. "Georgia welcomes business, investment, jobs, opportunity, and events. In fact, economic growth is driving much of the political progress we have seen here. Georgia welcomes the world’s business. Corporations disgusted like we are with the disgraceful Voter Suppression bill should stop any financial support to Georgia’s Republican Party, which is abusing its power to make it harder for Americans to vote." Ossoff first made the comments during a press conference in Atlanta Thursday and the senator's office confirmed the statement to Fox News on Friday.
