Marjorie Taylor Greene has made it clear that she will not run for governor of Georgia in 2026, putting an end to speculation about her political plans.
However, she confidently stated that if she did decide to run, she would undoubtedly win. Greene explained on X how her campaign for governor would be impossible to ignore. She said that if she ran, her presence would be felt all over Georgia through heavy campaigning, lots of advertising, and record-breaking fundraising, which would scare off most competitors. She pointed to her past political success as proof, recalling her first run for office in 2020 as a complete outsider.
She does not seem to understand that running for Congress is a lot different than trying to be a governor. She still confirmed that she would not be running, despite the support she has from MAGA.
MTG chickens out of governor race and still pouts that she would win
Greene won’t run for governor, saying, “I have a different perspective of the entire 2026 campaign cycle ahead and the fragile state of Republican control in Georgia. My perspective is rooted in my relationships with real people and Georgia businesses, issues I know are important that are being ignored, and has nothing to do with the 30,000 foot view and stupid polls from the out of state consultants that get rich every cylcle whether we win or lose.”
Greene claimed that Georgia has been controlled by a “good old boy system” for too long, and this male-dominated Republican leadership is slowly letting the state turn from red to blue. She criticized backroom deals made in private clubs, saying they don’t reflect what most Georgia voters actually care about.
I’m always dismayed by constant rumors about me and people who claim I am doing things, yet have not spoken to me about anything I am doing or not doing. If you have not heard it straight from me, then it is likely not true.

If I was running for governor the entire world would…(@mtgreenee) July 29, 2025
Greene didn’t completely rule out running for governor someday. She said her future campaign would be built on a bold platform and a clear strategy, but not one she could think up just yet. She may be too busy worrying over conspiracies or denying climate change. She said she considered the possibility of running without the support of the political establishment, outside consultants, or even her preferred President, but she’s not that delusional yet.
Georgia’s governor’s office will be open next year because Governor Brian Kemp can’t run again after serving two terms. Despite past clashes with the President, Kemp remains popular in the state. In 2022, he defeated a primary challenger who had the President’s backing and then won the general election against a strong Democratic opponent. With Greene out of the race and another House Republican also saying no, the Republican side for 2026 is still in the air.
