Greene Rejects Senate Run, Slams Ossoff and GOP Elites in Fiery Statement

Georgia’s fiery Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a staunch ally of President Donald Trump, has ruled out a 2026 Senate run, opting to stay in the House where she’s carved a polarizing yet potent niche. In a blistering social media statement, Greene didn’t hold back, slamming Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff as a "silver-spoon progressive" ripe for defeat, while reserving her sharpest jabs for her own party’s establishment.

Greene painted the Senate as a graveyard for bold ideas, bogged down by a "Uniparty" that stifles the people’s will with its 60-vote threshold and wavering Republican senators. "The Senate doesn’t work," she declared, arguing it’s rigged to protect entrenched power. Her decision follows Gov. Brian Kemp’s own pass on a Senate bid, leaving the GOP scrambling in a critical battleground state where they aim to unseat Ossoff and expand their slim 53-47 majority.

While dismissing Ossoff as an easy target, Greene unleashed on GOP "elites" and consultants, accusing them of propping up candidates who prioritize donors over voters. She vowed to keep fighting for Americans, not a party that "protects its weakest players." Though she’s out of the Senate race, Greene hinted at a possible gubernatorial run, keeping her options open as Georgia’s political landscape heats up.

With Rep. Buddy Carter already jumping into the Senate race and other Georgia Republicans like Reps. Mike Collins and Rich McCormick eyeing bids, the GOP primary promises to be a slugfest. Greene’s exit may ease fears of a divisive campaign, but her influence—and her warning to the establishment—still loom large.
