U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said Friday she won’t challenge Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff of Georgia in next year’s midterms, delivering relief for some Republicans who worry she’s too divisive to win.
In a lengthy post on the social media platform X, Greene disputed GOP donors and consultants who fear she would turn off the moderate Republicans and independents needed to beat Ossoff. But Greene said she doesn’t want to serve in a Senate that “doesn’t work” and that she said is dominated by lawmakers hostile to grassroots Trump supporters and unwilling to shake up the status quo.
“If I’m going to fight for a team, it will only be a team willing to lay it all on the line to save this country,” she wrote.
She’s made a lottery sized fortune and her and all her brood are set for life. She’s gonna take her pipe bombs and go home.
Bingo. She’s won three terms, so six years of being a rep, which means she gets the retirement and healthcare (the federal option, which she would pay the premiums for, in fairness) for life. The formula calculates out somewhere between $17-20k once she turns 62 in another nine years. Not a lot, but a very decent chunk to add to everything else.
Add in everything from the typical republican grifts and why would she bother anymore?

She just needs to go away.
They ALL need to go away.

We shouldn’t have allowed her to thaw.

Por que no los dos?
The way she words some of this makes it sound like she wants a NEW senate created, one “that works”.
Seems like she’s hoping for the MAGA coup to be at least nearing completion by then. Why spend resources on campaigning when you expect your opponents to be declared enemies of the state and arrested by the time “elections” come around?

Kemp declined to run too? They’re planning something more awful.
