5:05Now PlayingMarjorie Taylor Greene posted an insanely long post on Twitter this week, explaining that she is NOT going to be running for higher office any time soon, but also claiming that she would totally win in a landslide if she chose to run. This is at odds with what all polling data has shown, as Greene is generally viewed very unfavorably by the people outside of her district. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what happened.

For many, many months. Now, Marjorie Taylor Greene has been rumored to be seeking a higher office, whether it was becoming a senator from Georgia instead of just a representative from a small district, or perhaps even running for governor as Republican governor, Brian Kemp is term limited and cannot run in 2026, but Marjorie Taylor Greene came out this week in a very unnecessarily angry post on Twitter, um, where she said that if she did run for higher office, she would absolutely win in a landslide, but also she's not gonna run because she doesn't have a chance of winning. Now, weird, right? Because those are very contradictory statements like, if I ran, I would definitely win. And also if I run, I have no chance of winning. And she's right about one of them, by the way. But before I get into that, let me read you what Green put on Twitter.
And this is just part of it. Like this whole post was like she was writing a frigging novel at this point. So I'm not gonna read the whole thing. We'd be here for the rest of the weekend, but here's what she wrote. I'm always dismayed by constant rumors about me and people who claim I am doing things yet have not spoken to me about anything I am doing or not doing. If you have not heard it straight from me, then it is likely not true. If I was running for governor, the entire world would know it because I would be all over the state of Georgia campaigning. I would have ads running, I would be raising scary amounts of money, and I would literally clear, clear the field just to remind everyone. The first time I ran as a complete political outsider in 2020, I ran against eight well-respected men and beat them all easily finishing off the last man by double points in a run.
Jesus Christ, I'm sorry. But, um, you know, the, the kind of innuendos in that, like, that's just, I was not prepared for reading that out loud. Like finish the last man off. Okay, wonderful. Um, anyway, sorry. Maybe my mind went there and yours didn't. But anyway, I did that and won the primary and runoff without the coveted Trump endorsement. I am humbled and grateful by the massive statewide support that I have to run for governor. And if I wanted to run, we all know I would win. It's not even debatable and only because of that massive statewide support is why I ever considered it in the first place. You see, unlike most, I'm not about chasing titles or grasping for more power, despite what people who don't know me think about me. And then she also said that the state of Georgia is effectively a good old boys club where women like her have no chance at getting into higher office. So she, she
Can't win, but if she did run, she would win. Even though there's a good old boys club that makes sure she can't win, that's, that's the message. So let's go ahead and say it here. She wouldn't win and she would win. One of those statements is absolutely correct, and it's that she would not win. And you know how we know that because of polls, of course, multiple polls have come out with Marjorie Taylor Greene either running in the Republican primary for governor or the Republican primary for Senator, and all of them have shown her at dead last, like not even close. She doesn't even come close to her competitors. She is hated outside of her district, including the rest of the state of Georgia. So for her to sit there and be like, I am amazed at the tremendous amount of statewide support I have, that's not a thing that exists.
