US EditionGOP senators fear Marjorie Taylor Greene could cost them Georgia Senate race
- Republican senators worry that Marjorie Taylor Greene's possible 2026 Senate run in Georgia could threaten beating Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff.

- Kevin Cramer emphasized that electability is a key factor, while Thom Tillis expressed concerns that Greene might face difficulties winning support across the entire state.
- The GOP is concerned that while Greene may secure the Republican nomination, she could ultimately be defeated in the general election—mirroring the outcome in 2022 when Herschel Walker, after winning his primary, lost the Senate race to Raphael Warnock.
