She is dead last in a poll of potential candidates

Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene revealed in February she’s considering a Senate run in 2026 — but a new poll may have given her a reality check.

With Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff up for re-election next year, a new Atlanta Journal-Constitution poll pitted the four most likely Republican challengers against the incumbent in hypothetical face-offs.

Governor Brian Kemp, who hasn’t announced a decision yet but is facing pressure to run from his Republican colleagues, appears to be Republicans’ best shot at beating Ossoff, according to the Journal-Constitution’s poll. Kemp polled at 49 percent, while Ossoff came in at 46 percent ...

They are all just Jewish propaganda to keep globalists in control. Run for that seat!!!!!!



On a serious note, I was just earlier today thinking about how Democrats could get her out of congress, and now it looks like she just might do it herself.

I have family in her district. Both sides of the fence but they all hate her. Large Hispanic population (carpet factories) but I don’t think they vote. Part of her district, Dade County, tried to secede before the rest of Georgia. They set a letter to Pres. Truman in 1945 saying they’d rejoined the Union. It was mostly symbolic but that’ll give you an idea.

There's plenty of people that voted for Brian Kemp and against Herschel Walker.

I hope she wins the nomination, but I doubt it.
