US EditionRep. Marjorie Taylor Greene says she won't run for U.S. Senate
- U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene announced on Friday, May 2, 2025, that she will not challenge Sen. Jon Ossoff in the 2026 Georgia Senate race.
- Greene considered running but withdrew amid concerns some Republicans find her too divisive to win against Ossoff, who holds a slim-margin seat in a battleground state.
- Her decision followed Gov. Brian Kemp's recent withdrawal from the race, leaving a wide-open GOP primary with Buddy Carter and six other Republicans entering the contest.
- Greene, known nationally for her involvement in conspiracy theories and conflicts within her party, expressed that she would only align herself with a group prepared to make significant sacrifices to protect the nation, highlighting her unwillingness to join what she describes as a dysfunctional Senate.
- Her exit relieved some Republicans who fear her candidacy could alienate moderate voters necessary to defeat Ossoff, while the GOP now faces a competitive primary for a crucial Senate seat.
