Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is reportedly considering a run for Senate in 2026, but only if Governor Brian Kemp does not enter the race.
Democrat Sen. Jon Ossoff currently holds the seat Greene is said to be eying.
The Daily Caller, citing two unnamed sources, reports that Greene believes she would “crush” the Republican primary if Kemp does not enter the race. Kemp is widely considered a favorite to win and clear the field if he chooses.
The Daily Caller reports:
Greene’s potential candidacy for incumbent Democratic Georgia Sen. Jon Ossoff’s seat would put the conservative congresswoman at the center of one of the most closely watched races of 2026. Republicans are laser-focused on defeating Ossoff, whose narrow victory over former Republican Georgia Sen. David Perdue in a January 2021 runoff election was partly responsible for costing Senate Republicans their majority during the 2020 cycle.
Ossoff is the only Senate Democrat running for reelection in a state that Trump won last November.
Though Kemp is viewed as the party’s top recruit to defeat Ossoff — reflected by recent polling — the Republican primary is “frozen” until the term-limited governor makes a decision about whether to enter the race, a source familiar with the primary contest told the DCNF. Another source who requested anonymity to discuss both potential candidates’ bids said Kemp is likely to indicate whether he is running by Memorial Day.
The National Republican Senatorial Committee has been urging Kemp to run, as has Senate Majority Leader John Thune.
President Donald Trump has urged Greene to run instead, vowing to “fight like hell” for her if she does.
When asked if she was considering a run by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution in February, Greene did not rule it out. “Of course I’m considering all possibilities,” the congresswoman said. “No decisions have been made, but I would be telling a lie if I didn’t say I wasn’t considering it.”
“I think if she got in tomorrow, she’d raise millions of dollars online in the first week,” one source told The Caller. “If I was one of the other members of Congress that was looking at the race, I would not be fired up about running against her.”
Georgia Reps. Mike Collins, Rich McCormick, and Buddy Carter are also reportedly considering primary runs, but none are household names like Greene.
