Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a prominent ally of President Donald Trump and known as a MAGA firebrand, has announced that she will not run for the U.S. Senate in Georgia in 2026. She ended speculation about challenging Democratic incumbent Jon Ossoff through a statement on social media, where she criticized the Senate's effectiveness and the Republican Party's establishment, including their elite retreat on Sea Island. Greene's announcement follows closely after Georgia Governor Brian Kemp also declined to enter the Senate race, leaving the field open for other potential Republican candidates. Among those considering a run are Representatives Buddy Carter, Mike Collins, and Rich McCormick, as well as several state officials. In her statement, Greene expressed confidence in her ability to defeat Ossoff but chose not to run due to her belief that the Senate is structurally ineffective, requiring 60 votes to pass legislation, and dominated by a 'Uniparty' that obstructs the will of the people. She also criticized the influence of wealthy donors, polling firms, super PACs, and political consultants within the Republican Party, accusing them of undermining the party's grassroots supporters and manipulating the election system, which she described as a scam.

Marjorie Taylor Greene said on Friday that she would not run for Senate in 2026. The revelation — a huge relief to Republicans — came 1,200 words deep into a screed against her party that she posted on social media on Friday night. https://t.co/JYOlP8qUPm

Marjorie Taylor Green announces in essay form why she WONT run for Senate in Georgia. She says the Senate is broken, and her party has fallen victim to out of touch donors, consultants and those who are only disingenuously MAGA. (MINO ?? Are we doing that yet?) https://t.co/fLxCR3xIzl

🚨 NEW: Marjorie Taylor Greene rules out running for U.S. Senate in Georgia in 2026. She essentially polled the worst against Dem Sen. Jon Ossoff. Brian Kemp isn’t running either. https://t.co/1657Mkgayf

Majorie Taylor Greene said she is NOT running for Georgia Senate. This leaves Buddy Carter as the only declared GOP candidate, with Mike Collins continuing to tease a run. https://t.co/eTIyNhmptu

@AGHamilton29

Good news for Republicans as Marjorie Taylor Greene announces she’s not running for Georgia Senate. That’s means the winnable seat is still in play if they can recruit the right candidate against Jon Ossoff. https://t.co/Wux9xUr45n

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene says she will not enter the U.S. Senate race, as Republicans eye Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff’s seat in the battleground state of Georgia as a crucial pickup to expand their three-seat majority next year. https://t.co/QgnXYiKQj7
