On this morning’s Politically Georgia podcast, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene ripped into the field of GOP U.S. Senate candidates, including “MAGA warrior” Buddy Carter, MAGA extremist Mike Collins, and failed and fired former Tennessee football coach Derek Dooley, for “not inspiring” herself or other Georgians.
Greene’s rejection of the current crop of GOP U.S. Senate candidates comes as Carter, Collins, and Dooley are locked in a circular firing squad and taking constant shots at one another on the campaign trail and on social media.

- U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said she doesn’t feel strongly about any of the leading candidates for U.S. Senate or governor of Georgia and is withholding her support for now.
- “I’m not going to endorse anyone anytime soon,” she said on The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s “Politically Georgia” podcast. “And I don’t feel excited to do that right now.”
- Greene said the Georgian Republicans running for Senate and governor are not talking about what matters to voters most, like crime, improving the education system, addressing the environmental impact of data centers that power AI and securing the border.
- “I’m looking for serious candidates,” Greene said.
- Overall, Greene said she is turned off and not interested in the campaigns right now. She declined to back Collins, Carter or former football coach Derek Dooley in the Senate contest […]
- “I’m not inspired, and I’m a pretty good bellwether,” she said. “If I’m not inspired, there’s a lot of other people that are not inspired.”
