Rep. Greene mulls Senate bid: Undecided yet.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene Considering Higher Office, Including Senate Run or Vice Presidential Bid

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has⁣ expressed her aspirations to seek a higher office in ⁣the future, potentially running for the Senate or serving as ⁢a running mate under President Donald ⁣Trump.

“I haven’t made‌ up my mind whether I will do‌ that⁣ or not. I have a lot of things to think about,” Ms. Greene told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution ‍ during an Aug. 16 interview.

If⁣ she were to run for the Senate, Ms. Greene would likely face incumbent Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.), whose term ends in 2027.

Ms.⁣ Greene‌ is known as‌ one⁢ of President Trump’s strongest allies ‍in the Senate. She supported a resolution, along with House Republican conference Chairwoman Elise ⁤Stefanik (R-N.Y.), to​ expunge Democrats’ first impeachment of the former president.

President Trump has shown his support for Ms. Greene’s political ⁣ambitions. During a rally in Texas, he publicly asked her, “Would you like⁤ to ⁤run​ for the Senate? I ​will fight like hell for you, I tell you.”

Ms. Greene expressed⁢ her gratitude for President ‍Trump’s support,⁢ stating, “It was so nice of him to say.” She also mentioned the ​possibility of serving as a running mate or cabinet member under President Trump.

“Am I going to be a ⁢part of President Trump’s Cabinet if he wins? Is ​it possible that ‍I’ll be VP?” she said, considering such offers ‍”very, very heavily.”

Ms. Greene’s home state of Georgia had a close margin in favor of President‍ Joe Biden ⁤in 2020,⁤ raising​ uncertainty ⁣about the state’s political ⁣leaning. It remains unclear whether Ms. Greene, who aligns further to the right among her House colleagues, ‍could secure the Senate seat in a statewide race.

The Trump campaign has not yet responded ⁤to inquiries ‍regarding Ms. Greene’s potential consideration as President​ Trump’s running mate.
