Gov. Brian Kemp (R-GA) has opted not to run for the U.S. Senate in Georgia’s 2026 election, a decision that could reshape the GOP’s path to unseating Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) and trigger a high-stakes Republican primary.
Kemp, a popular Republican, has decided against a run after sitting down last month with Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) and National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman Tim Scott (R-SC).
The governor told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that he wouldn’t run for Senate in 2026, citing personal reasons, but pledged to support the GOP in finding and backing a strong, conservative candidate who can win.
