Marjorie Taylor Greene Teases Big Career Move

LOFTY ASPIRATIONS

MAGA diehard Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene is mulling a run at both Georgia’s governorship and the U.S. Senate.

The conspiracy theorist, who has made a name for herself as one of President Donald Trump’s loudest supporters in the House of Representatives, was pressed on Thursday by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution about whether she would take a stab at Democrat Jon Ossoff’s Senate seat, which is in play next year.

“Of course, I’m considering all possibilities,” she said on the outlet’s “Politically Georgia” podcast. “No decisions have been made, but I would be telling a lie if I didn’t say I wasn’t considering it.”

Greene, 50, added that running for governor of the battleground state is also on the table, as Republican Brian Kemp, who has held the office since 2019, will hit his term limit in 2026.

On Capitol Hill Friday, Greene did not deny the Journal-Constitution’s report.

When asked if she is, in fact, considering a run for statewide office, Greene rolled her eyes, looked at her staffer, and told the Daily Beast: “I love how they create their own stories.”

She got in an elevator and entertained no further questions.

It isn’t the first time Greene has hinted at filling Ossoff’s seat—she admitted it was on her mind in an interview with the Journal-Constitution in 2023.

Ossoff, meanwhile, has previously said that having Taylor Greene in the Senate would be a “disaster.”

“You know, Congresswoman Greene represents [an] extremely divisive, zealous, partisan MAGA brand of politics that I think would be an electoral problem for her in Georgia,” Ossoff said on MSNBC in December 2024. “But, with the former president’s support in a primary, she may very well be the general election candidate.”

“Marjorie Taylor Greene in the U.S. Senate would be a disaster for the country,” he added.

Before being elected to the House in 2020, Greene earned her MAGA stripes by pushing countless wild conspiracies—QAnon, Pizzagate, and 9/11 trutherism, to name a few.

She also called for the execution of top Democrats, including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, former President Barack Obama, and former Senator Hillary Clinton—as well as FBI agents—in 2018 and 2019.

In her time as a U.S. representative, Greene has embraced the MAGA political circus. Her antics have included threatening to shoot down the New Jersey mystery drones herself, cutting in line at Trump’s inauguration, and frequently suggesting that the government controls the weather.

After former President Joe Biden won the 2020 election, Taylor Greene unabashedly backed Trump’s effort to overturn the results, lying that it had been rigged.

With Trump’s backing, she won re-election in 2022 and 2024 by around 30 points each time.

Since Elon Musk’s ascendance in the MAGA world, Greene has also become the Department of Government Efficiency’s biggest supporter in Congress, chairing a House subcommittee that will work with the team of baby-faced engineers.

Her first target in the role will be nonprofit news media, including PBS and NPR, Politico reported.
