Republican Governor (GA) Brian Kemp withdraws his name for the 2026 Senate Race!

Sen. Osoff would have a steep climb against Kemp, but I believe Kemp is keeping his powder dry to run for president in 2028.

Marjorie Taylor Greene has been nosing around the idea of running and now she has a wide open opportunity. Osoff will crush her.

This potentially opens a House seat in GA (although a Dark Red district), and gives us a chance to keep Osoff in the Senate.

Good news.

Statewide voters hopefully won't elect her. It would a nice two-fer if she runs and loses. Maybe we'd never see her again, but djt would probably give her one of Marco's jobs.

One person who could possibly beat Ossoff is Brad Raffensberger, if it's true that he's running.

Kemp was the headliner in their plans to recruit candidates in battleground this cycle.

No shocker that Kemp doesn't want to tie himself up with Trump.
