    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Flamethrowing GOP representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has suggested she might not defend her seat in Congress next fall after two commanding victories in Georgia’s 14th District.

    Following comments by Georgia Governor Brian Kemp—who is reportedly weighing a run for the U.S. Senate in 2026—criticizing recent, disproven assertions by Donald Trump that he won the battleground state in 2020, Greene said she might be willing to challenge Kemp in a GOP primary.

    Assuming, of course, Trump doesn’t decide to name her as his running mate after winning the Republican presidential nomination.

    After publicly breaking with the far-right Freedom Caucus early this year to support the election of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, with Trump’s endorsement, Greene has been in lockstep with the former president.

    In addition to Greene, Republicans like New York Representative Elise Stefanik and unsuccessful Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake are seen as top contenders along with Florida Representative Byron Donalds, another close Trump ally and a rising GOP star in the House.

    Other possible names include South Carolina Senator Tim Scott, a 2024 presidential candidate who has been largely left unscathed by Trump’s withering attacks on his GOP competitors on the campaign trail.
