Ossoff and El-Sayed, two Democrats with very different platforms, are playing the midterms

Two candidates, two states

According to France 24, Senator Jon Ossoff is seeking to retain his seat in Georgia. Abdul El-Sayed, for his part, wants to get elected in Michigan, which the media outlet describes as a key state.

France 24 presents their profiles and platforms as being very far apart from one another. It sees this as a sign of disagreements within the opposition to Donald Trump.

A left in search of itself

RFI, for its part, describes the emergence, among Democrats, of a "fragmented and pluralistic left." According to the media outlet, it is driven in particular by people in their forties who hope to tip the vote in their favor. The source of this phrasing is not identified in the available material.

RFI also offers portraits of candidates with unique backgrounds, in both camps.

What the sources do not say

The two media outlets do not detail, in the available excerpts, the precise content of Ossoff's and El-Sayed's platforms. Nor do they indicate what concretely separates their positions.
