Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene says she won't run for U.S. Senate
- U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene announced on Friday, May 2, 2025, that she will not challenge Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff in Georgia's 2026 Senate race.
- Republicans, aiming to expand their narrow Senate majority, face concern that Greene's divisive profile could hinder efforts to unseat Ossoff, a top GOP target elected by a slim margin.
- Popular Republican Governor Brian Kemp opted out of the race on Monday, April 28, 2025, leaving the GOP nomination wide open with U.S. Rep. Buddy Carter announcing his candidacy first on Thursday, May 1.
- Greene, first elected to the House in 2020, is nationally known for embracing conspiracy theories and feuding within her party, and she said she won't join a Senate she deems dysfunctional and hostile to grassroots Trump supporters.
- Her decision not to run sets the stage for a contested GOP primary and highlights ongoing divisions within the party over electability and strategy against Ossoff.
