Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene says she won't run for U.S. Senate
- U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene announced on May 9, 2025, that she will not run against Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff in Georgia's 2026 Senate race.
- Greene's decision follows speculation after Governor Brian Kemp declined to enter the race, leaving the GOP nomination open with several candidates expressing interest.
- Greene, first elected in 2020 and known nationally for embracing conspiracy theories and feuding with party members, disputed GOP fears she is too divisive to win a general election.
- She emphasized having over 11 million followers on social media, attributing this to her clear and consistent positions, while criticizing the Senate as being filled with legislators opposed to the grassroots base that supports Trump.
- Greene's withdrawal relieved some Republicans concerned about her electability and suggests a competitive GOP primary for the seat held narrowly by first-term Senator Ossoff.
