GA-GOV: Greene says she's not running for Georgia governor

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) announced Tuesday that she would not run for Georgia governor in 2026, throwing cold water on speculation that had been swirling for months.

In a lengthy post on social platform X, Greene decried “constant rumors” about her political ambitions, including chatter that she might launch a campaign to succeed term-limited Gov. Brian Kemp (R).

“If I were running for Governor, I would have a platform and a detailed plan, much different than the others, that would save our sweet home state of Georgia, our precious hardworking businesses, and give our much loved children a bright future,” Greene wrote. “That would be for every Georgian, not just Republicans.”

At the same time, Greene, a close ally of President Trump, left the door open to a potential run in the future.

None of trump’s statewide pics ever pan out. Georgia is not a deep red state anymore. It’s not blue either, but folks that didn’t mind voting for Kemp are not going to vote for her.
