Greene says she's not running for Georgia governor

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) on Tuesday announced 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 the social media 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."

"And one day, I might just run without the blessing from the good ‘ole boys club or the out of state consulting leaches or even without the blessing of my favorite President," she added.

"One day, I might just run purely out of the blessing of the wonderful people of Georgia, my family and friends, but it won’t be in 2026.
