Democrat Senator Jon Ossoff Takes Aim At President Trump For Traveling With Assistant Natalie Harp

Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff has roasted President Donald Trump over his curious attachment to his 35-year-old White House aide Natalie Harp.

The Georgia senator name-dropped Harp, who has been described as Trump’s “human binkie” for being seemingly inseparable from the 80-year-old president, during a scathing takedown at a rally in Atlanta on Sunday.

Accusing Trump of “lying a nation into war, treating citizens as fools, and those who serve as pawns,” Ossoff contrasted the sailors who have spent almost nine months at sea aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln to the nap-taking billionaire president.

“While the sailors on the Lincoln fight his war, while he fruitlessly drains our munitions and oil reserves, the president sleeps through his meetings. He golfs and trades stocks. See, he doesn’t want to do his job,” the 39-year-old senator told the crowd, before invoking Trump’s peculiar relationship with his executive assistant.

“He wants to build his ballroom and travel with Natalie on their apparently defenseless flying palace gifted by the Emir of Qatar.”

Ossoff’s barb appeared particularly well-timed: Trump indeed traveled with Harp on his Qatari-gifted Air Force One on Sunday, flying from his New Jersey golf course back to D.C. after spending the weekend there.

Harp has become a near-constant presence in Trump’s life, and her estranged brother has called her bond with the president “very unhealthy.”

Jon Ossoff is not running for president in 2028.

Or at least, that’s what the first-term Georgia Senator has said over and over again when asked.

Ossoff’s name has been getting more attention as he campaigns in a crucial reelection race against MAGA loyalist and election denier Rep. Mike Collins, and he has become one of the newest targets of President Donald Trump.

In a speech in Marietta Wednesday, Trump called Ossoff “Pinky Herman,” meaning the 1980’s character Pee-wee Herman, and a “terrible Senator.” Ossoff, however, rarely responds to the president’s personal attacks against him, instead opting to criticize the president over the cost of living, the Iran war and alleged attempts at voter suppression.

Ossoff’s also having a moment online. Tiktok videos of Ossoff’s campaign speeches, television appearances and questioning during Senate hearings have gone viral with millions of views. A video of Ossoff questioning Department of War Secretary Pete Hegseth posted by the official account of the Democratic Party has more than one million views, with comments ranging from “that’s MY Senator” to “Ossoff 2028!” to “He looks …. presidential” to “he speaks like Obama.”

The senator has said repeatedly he will not run for higher office in 2028, instead focusing on the state of Georgia. That doesn’t stop others from testing out the waters for him.
