Marjorie Taylor Greene Rules Out Georgia Gubernatorial Run in 2026: 'We All Know I Would Win'

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has made waves by revealing that she will not pursue Georgia’s governorship in 2026

In a Tuesday post on X, Greene ruled out a gubernatorial bid, but left the door wide open for a possible run at some point in the future.

In a lengthy post, Greene acknowledged the overwhelming support she has received from Georgians across the state.

She stated unequivocally that if she were to run for governor, she “would win.”

“I am humbled and grateful by the massive statewide support that I have to run for Governor, and if I wanted to run, we all know I would win,” she wrote,

“It’s not even debatable.”

The congresswoman added that it was only because of this strong backing that she had ever even considered a run.

Greene, who has represented Georgia’s 14th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives since 2021, made it clear that 2026 is not the right time for a gubernatorial campaign.

However, she’s not ruling it out for the future.

“One day, I might just run without the blessing from the good ‘ole boys club or the out-of-state consulting leeches or even without the blessing of my favorite President,” she said.

“One day, I might just run purely out of the blessing of the wonderful people of Georgia, my family, and friends, but it won’t be in 2026.”

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…

This announcement follows Greene’s earlier declaration that she would not be running for the U.S. Senate in 2026.

With incumbent Democrat Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA)seeking re-election, Georgia is poised to see significant action in next year’s Senate race.

GOP Reps. Buddy Carter (R-GA) and Mike Collins (R-GA) have already announced their bids.

After outgoing Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp declined to challenge Ossoff, speculation immediately turned to Greene, who decided not to run.

While Greene ruled out a Senate run, she took aim at Ossoff, calling him “just a vote” and a “pawn” in the political system.

She added that many in the Senate, including establishment Republicans, were more interested in fundraising than advancing conservative policies.

“So no, Jon Ossoff isn’t the real problem,” Greene explained in a May post on X.

“He’s just a vote. A pawn.

“No different than the Uniparty Republicans who skip key votes to attend fundraisers and let our agenda fail.”

Greene’s comments about the “Uniparty” are reflective of her continued frustration with establishment politics in both parties.

As she positions herself as a staunch advocate for populist policies and conservative values, her decision to steer clear of 2026 gubernatorial bids only seems to heighten her appeal among Georgia’s right-wing base.

Greene is one of President Donald Trump’s most unabashed supporters.

In early May, the House approved Greene’s bill to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the “Gulf of America.”

Greene’s bill would codify an executive order signed by President Trump on his second day in office.

Meanwhile, on the Republican side of the gubernatorial race, Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr and Lt. Gov. Burt Jones are seeking the GOP nominations.

On the Democrat side, former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, state Sen. Jason Esteves, state Rep. Derrick Jackson, and businessman/pastor Olu Brown are seeking their party’s nomination.

Whether or not Greene ultimately pursues the governorship in the future, the congresswoman remains a formidable political figure.

Her influence in Georgia and beyond continues to grow.

For now, Greene has made it clear that she is focused on continuing her work in Congress, but the future remains open.

If the stars align, a governor’s mansion bid may one day be in her future.
