Greene has not been quite as explicit about ruling out the possibility of running for Georgia governor or to represent her state in the US Senate.<\/p>\n
Elections for both take place in 2026.<\/p>\n
Two-time Republican Georgia Governor Brian Kemp is up against his term limit and unable to run again, widening the field of possible replacements. <\/p>\n
Greene could also use her clout to pursue the race for the US Senate and attempt to unseat Democrat Jon Ossoff, who is up for re-election next year.<\/p>\n
Both the role of governor and US senator are ones that Greene has expressed interest in, at least according to Trump.<\/p>\n
In the president’s public spat with Greene following her resignation announcement, Trump wrote on social media that the feud began “when I sent her a Poll stating that she should not run for Senator, or Governor”.<\/p>\n
“She was at 12%, and didn’t have a chance (unless, of course, she had my Endorsement \u2014 which she wasn’t about to get!)”, he said.<\/p>\n
Kennesaw State University Professor of Political Science Kerwin Swint, who lives in Greene’s congressional district, says that Trump is aware of her unpopularity outside of her immediate district, and that she would probably “get obliterated” if she ran for statewide office.<\/p>\n
Without those options, the only other office she may have her sights on is president, despite her protestations.<\/p>\n
“I don’t see that happening,” Swint says. “She would be such an amazing longshot to dark horse. <\/p>\n
“But most politicians have a big enough ego that they look in the mirror, they see a future president. So it’s not out of the question.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Greene has not been quite as explicit about ruling out the possibility of running for Georgia governor or…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":592063,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[12,26],"class_list":{"0":"post-592062","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-world","8":"tag-news","9":"tag-world"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115608343280414858","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/592062","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=592062"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/592062\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/592063"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=592062"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=592062"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=592062"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
