Georgia Senate Race Struggles: Republicans in Disarray After Kemp Declines to Run
In a significant development for the Georgia Senate race, Republican Governor Brian Kemp has announced that he will not seek the Senate seat in the upcoming elections, following months of speculation and private lobbying. This decision has left the GOP scrambling to find a viable candidate to challenge incumbent Democrat Jon Ossoff. As the party faces internal divisions, concerns are rising over potential candidates, notably Marjorie Taylor Greene, who has expressed interest in running but is feared to be a liability for Republicans. Polls indicate she is currently trailing behind other potential GOP challengers. The landscape appears challenging for Republicans, complicating their hopes to maintain or expand their Senate majority, especially with various other candidates still contemplating their bids.
