Marjorie Taylor Greene refuses to challenge Jon Ossoff in Georgia’s Senate race

Atlanta (AP) – American representative Marjorie Taylor Greene said Friday that she will not challenge Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff from Georgia in the middle of the marsh next year, which offers relief to some Republicans who care about being too divisive to win.

In a long publication on the X Social Network Platform, Greene played Republican donors and consultants who fear that the Republicans and independent moderate needed to overcome Ossoff. But Greene said she does not want to serve in a Senate that “does not work” and said that it is dominated by hostile legislators to Brass Trump supporters and is not willing to shake the status quo.

“If I am going to fight for a team, it will only be a team willing to put everything in line to save this country,” he wrote.

Ossoff, a first -term senator, won the seat by a thin margin in a state that has historically been a republican strength but that has more recently become a battlefield. It is a main objective for Republicans seeking to expand their close majority in the Senate.

The popular Republican governor Brian Kemp, who could be a formidable opponent for Ossoff, opted for the 2026 race on Monday. His decision leaves a career open for the nomination of the Republican party.

Six other headlines of the Republican party in addition to Greene have recognized interest in running News. They include two other Republicans in the United States Chamber, Mike Collins and Rich McCormick. Also considering the career, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, the State Agriculture Commissioner, Tyler Harper, the State Insurance Commissioner, John King, and state senator Greg Dolezal.

“I hope a competitive primary: the seats in the Senate do not appear so frequently,” said Eric Tanenblatt, a fundonator of funds from the Republican Party and Kemp Ally who has backed Trump’s rivals in the presidential primaries.

Greene is known at the national level and a prolific collection of funds, but has adopted conspiracy theories and has fought with members of her own party. On Thursday, he told reporters that he has more than 11 million followers on social networks, saying that this is because people know where they are.

Greene’s appeal would be clear in a Republican primary with many fiercely loyal voters to the president. His decision not to run came a day after he told the journalists that he was considering him.

“I’m going to think about it, talk to my family. I feel honored to have so much support from the great people of Georgia. And I have options,” he said Thursday.

Greene was first chosen for the camera in 2020. He initially planned to run in a competitive district in the suburbs of northern Atlanta, but moved to district 14 much more conservative in the northwest corner of Georgia.

Greene continued hugging conspiracies even after 11 Republicans of the Chamber joined the Democrats to eliminate the assignments of their committee in February 2021. He hugged the people imprisoned by positions after January 6, 2021, disturbances in the Capitol of the United States as political prisoners, part of his campaign to rethink the narration of the attack of the attack and the elk of the Democrats. Republicans, as part of violence.

It was received again in the mainstream of the Republican Conference by Kevin McCarthy, who forged an alliance with it. But Greene continued fighting with Republicans and Democrats equally. House Freedom Caucus expelled Greene in 2023.
