The Georgia Senate race took a crazy turn this week when Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp declared that he will NOT run for Senate next year, which could have made the race against Jon Ossoff even more competitive. Republicans were not super happy, as he was a solid candidate for them to run since he already has a very solid reputation in the state that he has led for years.
Republicans in Congress were hoping to flip the seat in 2026. Kemp cannot run for Governor (he is time limited prevented), but he still decided not to seek higher office. Kemp can see the MAGA writing on the wall.
He put out a statement on Monday saying:
“I spoke with President Trump and Senate leadership earlier today and expressed my commitment to work alongside them to ensure we have a strong Republican nominee who can win next November, and ultimately be a conservative voice in the US Senate who will put hardworking Georgians first.”
His choice opens up the primary to a few other well known Republicans, including Marge Three Toes. She told NBC News last week that she has “a lot of options open to me” but would not discuss it further.
Can Congress handle Senator Greene and her batshit craziness in the SENATE? I do not think so.
But, I would enjoy a debate between Ossoff and Greene. That would make for some true insanity.
