Jon Ossoff
By Aiden Pink April 19, 2017
Georgia congressional candidate Jon Ossoff’s election night party contained a mix of emotions, with attendees giddy at his better-than-expected showing but disappointed that he did not clear the 50% tally necessary to avoid a runoff in June. But the night was made much groovier by the party’s soundtrack, which featured many songs that likely would have been played at Ossoff’s Bar Mitzvah party.
but Ossoff’s election night party is legit a bar mitzvah with a cash bar. Ppl are dancing, smiling, hugging. #GA06 https://t.co/MjJVPlP2nW

The Ossoff election night party is about to become the first event in American political history where Eye of the Tiger is played in full

Among the songs were “Celebration” and “Jump Around,” with revelers boogying to the Cha Cha Slide and the Electric Slide.
The guests seemed to be quite into it:

It’s unclear if they also did a mummy wrap or played Coke & Pepsi.
