Why we checked itCollins claims Ossoff failed to advance the Laken Riley Act when Democrats controlled the White House, but also acknowledges Ossoff voted for it — a potential contradiction worth verifying regarding Ossoff's actual legislative role
What we foundJon Ossoff did vote for the Laken Riley Act when it came to a final Senate vote in January 2025, directly contradicting the claim that he 'never helped lift a finger' on the bill; additionally, the claim that the bill 'could have passed' under Biden is contradicted by the fact that Senate Democrats, as the majority, blocked it from even reaching a floor vote.
