Marjorie Taylor Greene rules out U.S. Senate bid in Georgia

(Atlanta Journal-Constitution) U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene won’t challenge U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff next year, forgoing a polarizing Senate bid that many senior Republicans feared could jeopardize the party’s shot at flipping the seat.

Greene’s announcement Friday comes just days after Gov. Brian Kemp also ruled out a challenge against the first-term Democrat, one of the most vulnerable incumbents on the 2026 ballot. Nearly a dozen other GOP figures are considering entering the race.

“Jon Ossoff, you can stop with the fundraising emails and campaign ads claiming I‘m your opponent,” she posted on social media. “I‘m not running.”

She added in a knock to other GOP contenders: “Start trying to raise money off one of these other generic Republicans, though I expect your donations will drop.”
