In Wednesday’s episode of the “Politically Georgia” podcast, Atlanta Journal-Constitution journalists Tia Mitchell, Patricia Murphy and Greg Bluestein analyze Gov. Brian Kemp‘s decision to pass on a U.S. Senate bid in 2026.
Kemp’s announcement leaves a wide open field for Georgia Republicans who want to challenge incumbent U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff.
Among the possible GOP contenders are U.S. Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Mike Collins, state Insurance Commissioner John King, and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.
The hosts will also discuss U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock’s recent town hall over the weekend at Zion Hill Baptist Church.

The Georgia Democrat fielded questions on tariffs and the Department of Government Efficiency.
Warnock also offered his take on the first 100 days of President Donald Trump’s second administration.
“We have witnessed the devastating consequences of this new administration,” Warnock said. “This has been the longest 100 days in my life.”
