Senator Jon Ossoff of Georgia has made headlines as the odds of him being the Democratic nominee for president have spiked following a rally on Sunday night. Ossoff, who is up for re-election in November, criticized Trump while speaking in Atlanta, including making a jab at one of Trump’s aides, Natalie Harp. Ossoff has been married to Dr Alisha Kramer since 2017.
Prior to getting married, the two had been dating for 12 years, since they were teenagers. Kramer is an obstetrics and gynecology doctor at Emory University. She completed her residency there in 2023 and is a graduate of Georgetown University and Emory University School of Medicine.
When Ossoff declared victory in 2021 to become a U.S. Senator for Georgia and the youngest person elected to the Senate since 1980, Kramer was working in the hospital. During his victory speech, Ossoff said: “I want to thank my wonderful wife Alisha who as we speak is at the hospital helping Georgia mothers deliver healthy babies, helping save lives.” In Ossoff’s 2021 campaign, Kramer regularly featured as an authority on COVID-19.
In 2019, Kramer testified against what has been dubbed the “Heartbeat bill” in the Georgia state senate. The bill made abortions illegal in the state after a heartbeat could be detected, and doctors who violated the law could receive up to 10 years in prison. The regulation was blocked by a federal district judge in July 2020, but its legal history did not end there.
After the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, Georgia’s six-week abortion ban took effect. Ossoff and Kramer have two daughters, Eva, born in December 2021 and Lila, born in June 2025.
Ossoff wrote on X when his first daughter Eva was born, “Alisha and I are overjoyed and totally in love with Eva Beth Ossoff, our first child.” Georgia’s abortion restrictions remain in effect, making the issue Kramer testified about as a medical student a continuing part of the state’s political and health care landscape. The law prohibits most abortions once a “detectable human heartbeat” is present, generally around six weeks of pregnancy, with exceptions including certain medical emergencies and some pregnancies resulting from rape or incest. The law has continued to face legal challenges.
