GOP Senators Beg MTG To Stay Out Of Senate Race

The Hill reports:

Republican senators are waving off firebrand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) from jumping into next year’s Georgia Senate race, voicing concerns that some of the “crazy” things she’s said might come back to hurt her in a general election race against vulnerable Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff (Ga.).

Republican senators fear that Greene, who has a knack for making headlines with controversial comments and generating enthusiasm from MAGA voters, could march to the nomination but lose in the general election — like former NFL star Herschel Walker did in the 2022 Georgia Senate race.

“We need to have the absolute best candidate, and that includes electability. It’s very difficult to apply a formula for a very gerrymandered, very conservative congressional district into a statewide election with as much diversity as Georgia has,” Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.) said.
