Marjorie Taylor Greene announced she will resign from Congress, opening her Georgia seat to a 2026 race. Republican Colton Moore is exploring a run, while Democrat Shawn Harris says he is running again after losing to Greene in 2024.
Greene said in a video that the political system was not working for North Georgians and that ordinary Americans were not benefiting, regardless of which party holds power. A political science professor said Greene was popular and might have been well positioned to survive a contested primary; President Donald Trump said she resigned because she would not have survived one after he broke with her.
Moore, a state senator, said he is exploring a run. Harris, who lost to Greene by more than 100,000 votes in 2024, said he is running again in 2026 and hopes to build a coalition of Democrats, Republicans and independents. One voter who supported Trump and Greene said Greene should have stayed quiet about resigning.
