Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., said definitively on Friday that she will not enter the U.S. Senate race, as Republicans eye Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff’s seat in the battleground state of Georgia as a crucial pickup to expand their three-seat majority next year.
“Someone once said, ‘The Senate is where good ideas go to die.’ They were right. That’s why I’m not running,” Greene wrote in a post on X.
“I won’t fight for a team that refuses to win, that protects its weakest players, and that undermines the very people it’s supposed to serve,” she added.
Greene’s announcement comes a day after another Trump ally, Rep. Buddy Carter, R-Ga., announced his candidacy for the Senate, making him the first major Republican candidate to challenge Ossoff.
Republicans, who are wary of Greene, have been looking for an alternative candidate after Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp said he wouldn’t enter the Senate race.
Greene was first elected to the House in 2020.
