Ossoff was a cookie cutter neoliberal who ran a bland/uninspiring campaign. He amassed an war chest that was way larger than necessary and that left him open to some pretty effective attack ads by the GOP. Not to mention that this race was nationalized to the point where CNN was clawing for a prime time debate (ridiculous). This nationalization of the race only served as a wake-up call to the GOP and further activated their base for an election they probably wouldn't have seen such high turnout otherwise.
The shooting of Representative Scalise didn't help either.
