DSCC Statement on Brian Kemp Declining to Run for Senate in Georgia

In response to Georgia Governor Brian Kemp announcing today that he will not run for Senate in 2026, DSCC Communications Director Maeve Coyle issued the following statement: 

“Brian Kemp’s decision to not run for Senate in 2026 is yet another embarrassing Republican Senate recruitment failure as they face a building midterm backlash where every GOP candidate will be forced to answer for Trump’s harmful agenda. Senate Republicans’ toxic agenda and recruitment failures put their majority at risk in 2026.”
