Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is considering a Senate run next year, and she believes she would “crush” the GOP primary—as long as the state’s Gov. Brian Kemp opts out. If the pro-Trump congresswoman were to advance past the primary, she would likely face Sen. Jon Ossoff in the general election, according to The Daily Caller. In February, Greene acknowledged that she has been mulling over running for Senate or governor of Georgia. “Of course I’m considering all possibilities,” Greene told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “No decisions have been made, but I would be telling a lie if I didn’t say I wasn’t considering it.” In the same interview, she described Kemp as a “really solid candidate” for the Senate. A source told the Daily Caller that the primary is effectively “frozen” until Kemp decides whether or not he will run. A two-term governor, Kemp is ineligible for re-election next year.
