Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., said definitively on Friday that she will not enter the U.S. Senate race, as Republicans eye Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff’s seat in the battleground state of rgia as a crucial pickup to expand their three-seat majority next year.
“Someone once said, ‘The Senate is where good ideas go to die.’ They were right. That’s why I’m not running,” Greene wrote in a post on X.
“I won’t fight for a team that refuses to win, that protects its weakest players, and that undermines the very people it’s supposed to serve,” she added.
Greene’s announcement comes a day after another Trump ally, Rep. Buddy Carter, R-Ga., announced his candidacy for the Senate, making him the first major Republican candidate to challenge Ossoff.
Republicans, who are w of Greene, have been looking for an alternative candidate after rgia Gov. Brian Kemp said he wouldn’t enter the Senate race.
Greene was first elected to the House in 2020.
