Trump’s threat to his closest ally Marjorie Taylor Greene killing her plans for Senate run

President Donald Trump has reportedly warned Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., off of a potential run for Senate

Trump told Greene that should she run she would likely lose during a private conversation, sources familiar with the talk told the Wall Street Journal. 

The president shared a poll from his longtime pollster, Tony Fabrizio, that indicated Greene would lose to incumbent Democrat Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga., by double digits the sources said.

Ossoff is one of the most endangered Democrats of the 2026 midterms, and a key seat Senate Republicans want to pick up to retain and possibly even expand their 53-seat majority. 

Trump and the White House are eager to maintain Republican control over Congress so the president can continue to push through his MAGA agenda. 

The report indicates that the administration is already planning for the midterms. 

The early polling reportedly showed Greene losing a potential race for Senate in Georgia by double-digits. 

The Republican congresswoman would lose by 18 points, said those familiar with the conversation Trump-Greene conversation. 

Greene pushed back on the report saying she never spoke to Trump about the matter. 

Greene decided against running for Senate in Georgia in early May. A new report indicates Trump may have played a role in that decision 

The president reportedly shared with the congresswoman data from his pollster indicating she would lose a Senate bid

Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga., is widely seen as one of the must vulnerable senators in the 2026 midterms

‘I have never spoken with President Trump about running for Senate or any other race,’ she wrote on X. ‘But for some reason, some consultants and aides are leaking to the usual tools in the media in order to promote the narrative they want to tell about me.’ 

‘I have always supported President Trump for free and actually spent hundreds of thousands of dollars campaigning with him all across the country!!’ 

Greene ultimately decided against running for Senate writing, ‘I’m not running’ in a May 9 post on X. 

Her decision came days after the presumed frontrunner, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, announced he would not seek the office after getting termed out of his current role. 

Republican Senate leadership was hoping Kemp would run as he is widely popular in the state. GOP Senators expected he could likely beat Ossoff. 

Small Business Administration Administrator Kelly Loeffler, who briefly served as senator from Georgia after being appointed to a vacant seat, also polled as a more favorable candidate that MTG, the sources revealed.  

The polling did indicate, however, that Greene could win a primary election against other Republicans, the report states. 

Already the field of candidates is burgeoning with GOP members of the House who are expected to hop in the race. 

Trump warning Greene off the run indicates how his team is already crafting plans to retain the GOP majority in Congress through the midterms

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp announced this month he won’t seek the Senate seat

Recently Rep. Buddy Carter announced his candidacy for Senate. Reps. Mike Collins and Rich McCormick are also reportedly mulling a run, though they have not announced.

In a statement provided to the Daily Mail, Greene slammed the ‘uniparty’ for teaming up against her – and shared the pollster has a ‘conflict’ with her. 

‘I decided I want nothing to do with the Senate because it’s completely under uniparty control and not for the American people,’ she wrote. 

‘To my knowledge, a lot of this was private conversation, and apparently is being leaked. The poll was done by Tony Fabrizio, who has refused to work for me because he says he has a conflict, which means he’s working for someone against me.’

She also wrote that past candidates, like Loeffler, lost their races despite polls indicating they were ahead. 

‘As far as my decisions on races in the future, I will make the decision based on where I can be most effective and what is good for me and my family,’ her statement concluded, leaving the door open for other runs.
