Fact check: Jon Ossoff, James Talarico, Roy Cooper, and Josh Turek are Senate Democrat candidates.

Verdict: mostly true — Trust Score 65/100

The post correctly identifies Jon Ossoff, James Talarico, Roy Cooper, and Josh Turek as Democratic candidates for the U.S. Senate in 2026. However, the specific claim that these candidates are receiving support from at least 20% of non-MAGA Republicans, as reported by FOX, could not be definitively confirmed with the exact percentage in the provided search results. While FOX News polls on Republican and Democratic support exist, the precise 20% figure for non-MAGA Republicans supporting these specific candidates was not found.

  1. verified: Jon Ossoff, James Talarico, Roy Cooper, and Josh Turek are Senate Democrat candidates.
    Multiple sources confirm that Jon Ossoff is a Democratic Senator running for re-election in Georgia in 2026. James Talarico is the Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate in Texas in 2026. Roy Cooper is the Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate in North Carolina in 2026. Josh Turek is the Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate in Iowa in 2026.
  2. unverifiable: These Senate Democrat candidates are receiving support from at least 20% of non-MAGA Republicans.
    While there are reports of FOX News polls discussing voter sentiment and party support for the 2026 midterms, no specific poll result stating that these particular Democratic candidates are receiving at least 20% support from 'non-MAGA Republicans' could be found in the provided search results. The term 'non-MAGA Republicans' is also not consistently defined or used in the context of voter support percentages in the available polls.
  3. unverifiable: The information about the candidates' support from non-MAGA Republicans was reported by FOX.
    While FOX News conducts polls and reports on voter sentiment, a specific report from FOX detailing 20% non-MAGA Republican support for these particular Democratic candidates could not be found in the provided search results. General FOX News polls on party support were found, but not with the precise claim made in the post.
