Ossoff did not mention his exchange with Trump - or call the president by name at all - during his remarks.
Last week was the first big test for the Democratic party in the Trump era in a special election in Kansas, but the Georgia race looks to be the more realistic opportunity for the party.
Should he secure an upset, it would mark a stunning embarrassment for the president and signal that next year's mid-term elections are essentially up for grabs.
Georgia's 6th District is in the relatively affluent and conservative suburbs of Atlanta. She spoke at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland last year and previously served as the assistant GOP leader in the Colorado House, before expressing frustration and taking an appointment to the county post.
Ossoff is running in a special election there to replace congressman Tom Price, who resigned to become Trump's health secretary. So whoever comes in second, the Republican, they're going to end up winning in the run-off, because right now Jon has all this money and the Republicans are not consolidated.
Republicans' failure to pass their plan to overhaul the nation's health-care system has sown doubts among some suburban GOP voters about Trump's effectiveness in cutting deals with lawmakers in Washington, as well as the party's promises.
Does this signal a new grassroots approach to politics?
Democratic congressional leaders and liberals from around the country have rallied for Ossoff as Republicans have clawed at one another, contributing millions to his insurgent bid and watching him soar to the top of several polls - and salivating at the prospect of picking up a seat that hasn't gone blue since Georgia's own Jimmy Carter occupied the Oval Office.
Republicans have held the suburban Atlanta seat for almost four decades. On Tuesday, Democrats, Republicans, and independents will all appear on one ballot.

You feel like you want to jump onto the pitch and help the team, ' Mata wrote in his blog . They are named Chelsea, but they could be named Arsenal or Tottenham.
Among other things, the ads target Ossoff for being too close to Democratic establishment figures like Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-California, and for raising money from outside groups.
The Georgia election is set for Tuesday and will come a week after Republican Ron Estes beat out Democrat James Thompson in a race for another vacated seat, one in Kansas' fourth district previously held by CIA Director Mike Pompeo. The other variable that separates the contests in Kansas and Georgia is that the latter does not have the former's deep reservoirs of intensely pro-Trump rural counties.
National media covered the election and the campaign's closing days, but there was little national coverage of the race before then.
Five polls conducted between April 10 and April 15 give Ossoff between 41 percent and 45 percent of the vote, with the nearest of eleven Republican candidates, former Secretary of State Karen Handel, maxing out at 21 percent.
Hollywood actor Samuel L. Jackson cut a radio ad urging Democrats to head to the polls in Georgia's 6th District. Remember what happened the last time people stayed home. "And Jon, to me, represents fresh, young, moderate blood that we need in Washington, and I'd like to see more young people with fresh ideas get there". "We have to channel the great vengeance and furious anger we have for this administration into votes at the ballot box".
Speaking to ThinkProgress on Monday, less than 24 hours before Election Day, Abroms said that he expected to have to be on the defensive, explaining his rationale for not backing the president. "This is about us", he told a few hundred supporters Monday night.
Ossoff is an untested candidate.
The midterm elections can seem very far away, particularly when a single day in the Trump administration-say, April 11, 2017-can bring public threats toward North Korea, the president mixing up which country, exactly, he'd dropped bombs on (that'd be Syria, not Iraq), and what sounded an terrible lot like a press secretary complimenting Hitler's use of restraint.
