(The Center Square) – Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp said in a social media post Monday he will not run for U.S. Senate in 2026.
U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga., is up for reelection and Republicans are hoping to regain the seat.
The governor said the decision was made after discussions with “friends, supporters and leaders” from across the country.
“After those discussions, I have decided that being on the ballot next year is not the right decision for me and my family,” Kemp said. “I spoke with President Trump and Senate leadership earlier today and expressed my commitment to work alongside them to ensure we have a strong Republican nominee who can win next November, and ultimately be a conservative voice in the US Senate who will put hardworking Georgians first.”
Kemp’s announcement leaves the Republican nominee for the Senate seat wide open. Some candidates discussed are U.S. Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Mike Collins.

Political Bias Rating: Centrist
The article provides factual reporting on Georgia Governor Brian Kemp’s decision not to run for U.S. Senate in 2026, as well as the context surrounding his announcement. It includes direct quotes from Kemp, President Trump, and other Republican leaders, but does not exhibit a clear ideological slant. The language is neutral and focuses primarily on the personal decision and the potential impact on the Republican nomination for the Senate seat. While the article references Kemp’s Republican affiliation and mentions other GOP figures, it refrains from advocating for any particular candidate or political stance, thus adhering to a neutral, factual reporting approach.
