BREAKING: Senate Chief Thune Meets With Kemp, First Lady.

by Posted on

Axios reports moments ago on a meeting about the Georgia Senate race:

Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) met with Gov. Brian Kemp on Monday as the GOP lobbies the Georgia Republican to run for Senate in 2026.

Why it matters: Georgia is a top pickup opportunity for Senate Republicans, and the popular Kemp is seen as the party’s strongest potential candidate.

  • Thune was joined at Monday’s lunch in Atlanta by NRSC Chair Tim Scott (R-S.C.), according to two people familiar with the meeting.
  • Kemp’s wife, Marty, also attended.

As we’ve been saying, Governor Kemp will be the next Senator from Georgia…if he wants to run. I’ve been of the opinion he’ll make his mind up soon, so as to not leave the GOP in a holding pattern, putting another candidate in a hole should he decline to run.
