Marjorie Taylor Greene has decided to sit out the Georgia Senate race. Why, you ask? Because running for the Senate would apparently “weaken” her strength.
Yes, that’s the story she’s sticking with. Not the fact that she’s been polling somewhere between “abysmal” and “please stop” among Georgia voters. Not the fact that the Republican establishment is about as thrilled with her antics as you’d be with a raccoon rummaging through your trash. Nope, it’s because she’s just too strong to run. Recent polls in Georgia have shown her trailing far behind potential Republican Senate candidates, not to mention Democratic incumbents. Even in a state that’s still deeply divided, Greene’s brand of extremism plays well only in the reddest corners of the MAGA base.
