Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) fueled speculation that she is considering an uphill bid against Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) next year in a weekend fundraising email that described a possible campaign as the “biggest fight of my life.”
Greene, who overcame media and Democratic smears and sneers to win her House seat in 2020 and eventually become influential in the GOP caucus, said in the email that she would take her direction from supporters and donors.

“Before anything further happens — before I move to the next step — I need to hear from you. I need to know if I should run for Senate in Georgia, and if I should I need to know if I will have your support or not,” she said.
“This would be the biggest fight of my life, the most important, the most brutal, and the most high-stakes,” said her email, which added, “The radical left, the fake news media, the RINOs, the globalist billionaires — they would all come after me with everything they’ve got. But I’m not afraid of them. I’m only afraid of running this race without the full support of the America First patriots who have had my back since day one.”
The email includes a poll question that links to a fundraising page.
Ossoff has already raised over $11 million for his reelection campaign.
Greene has kept the door open to running for Ossoff’s seat. Senate Republicans believe the race can be won, and a victory would be key to maintaining control of the chamber.
Many state and national Republicans are hopeful that Gov. Brian Kemp will challenge Ossoff. The Republican leads in recently released polls.
A key Greene supporter in Washington told Secrets that he hasn’t heard yet that the congresswoman will or won’t run. She won reelection twice with sizable leads.

A recent story from the Associated Press suggested that Ossoff would like Greene to run, believing that she is too partisan and conservative to win.
While she is behind in recent polls testing the race, Greene has never run away from a fight.
Her fundraising email tested out a couple of lines of attack. “One of the biggest hurdles we face in our movement to save America is the U.S. Senate. The worst of them is Jon Ossoff, or as I like to call him, ‘Radical Transgender Activist Jon Ossoff.’ Ossoff is already working behind the scenes to impeach and remove President Trump from office,” it said.
