Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) is passing on a Senate run against Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) in 2026, the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports.
“Though some allies of the second-term Republican long doubted he would run, the uncertainty froze for months the race against Ossoff, whom Republicans see as one of the most vulnerable incumbents on the ballot next year.”
Kemp was the only Republican candidate who was running ahead of Ossoff in recent AJC polling.
This is incredibly good news for Democrats — especially if it encourages Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R) to run.
