Kemp's Georgia decision forces GOP to consider a worst-case Senate scenario [View all]
(The Hill) Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) just made life a great deal harder for the Senate Republicans trying to maintain a firewall around their three-seat majority next year.
In passing on the chance to take part in what would be an ugly, expensive and uncertain effort to win back a Senate seat Republicans fumbled away six years ago, Kemp is saving himself a whole lot of aggravation and keeping his electoral record perfect for a potential 2028 presidential bid.
If Kemp had gotten in, he would have been a heavy favorite to beat incumbent Democrat Jon Ossoff — but only if the governor could have gotten through a primary that may include the likes of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) in a place where the state GOP electorate is error prone.
