Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp will not run for Senate in 2026 — putting an already competitive seat up for grabs. The popular Republican would have been a prime recruit against first-term Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff.
“I have decided that being on the ballot next year is not the right decision for me and my family,” Kemp said in a statement posted on X. “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.”
Kemp shared the news publicly after POLITICO reported that three people familiar with the decision said he would not run. Without Kemp in the race, Republicans may face an unpredictable primary that could include divisive candidates like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. Kemp’s decision was a letdown for Republicans both in Washington and in Georgia.
I think that Governor Kemp knows what Republicans will be facing next year. 47's blanket tariffs (Imposed with the advise and consent of the Legislative Branch and therefore Unconstitutional) are wrecking havoc with the economy. His "plans" to invade Greenland (a NATO Ally) are ridiculous. Making Canada the 51st. State will never work. Panama is a sovereign state. Kemp does NOT want to be part of that.
