Ossoff Warns: Marjorie Taylor Greene in Senate Would Be a ‘National Catastrophe

Senator Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.) has expressed significant concern over the potential Senate candidacy of Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), labeling it a “disaster” for the nation. Ossoff, who is up for re-election in the 2026 midterms, highlighted the divisive nature of Greene’s politics and the implications of her possible elevation to the Senate.

During an appearance on MSNBC’s “The Last Word,” host Lawrence O’Donnell referenced former President Donald Trump’s support for Greene’s prospective Senate run, suggesting that Trump envisions her participating in critical confirmation hearings, such as that of Kash Patel for FBI Director. Ossoff responded by emphasizing Greene’s alignment with the “extremely divisive, zealous, partisan MAGA brand of politics,” expressing concern about her potential impact in the Senate.

Trump’s endorsement of Greene’s Senate ambitions dates back to a March 2023 rally in Waco, Texas, where he publicly encouraged her to pursue a Senate seat, pledging robust support for her campaign.

Greene, known for her staunch support of Trump and alignment with the MAGA movement, has been a polarizing figure in the House of Representatives. Her potential candidacy raises questions about the future political landscape in Georgia, a state that has experienced shifting political dynamics in recent years.

As the 2026 election approaches, Ossoff’s remarks underscore the heightened political tensions and the critical choices facing Georgia voters. The prospect of Greene’s Senate run, bolstered by Trump’s endorsement, suggests a contentious and closely watched race that could have significant national implications.
