On the November 24, 2025 “Georgia Hour,” host BKP claims Marjorie Taylor Greene’s sudden resignation from GA-14: is it a strategic move upward or a frustrated exit after being boxed out of higher office?

Despite years of loud Trump support, MTG was told she could never win statewide: internal data showed she’s too far right to capture independents and metro Atlanta moderates. Trump refused to endorse her for either Governor or U.S. Senate. The Governor slot was locked up early for Lt. Gov. Burt Jones the moment MTG’s June 2025 state GOP convention speech sounded like a campaign launch. The Senate path was blocked by a prior deal Trump cut with Brian Kemp—the infamous October 2024 Valdosta “handshake”—trading Kemp’s turnout machine in 2024 for veto power over anti-Kemp candidates.

With no path to Governor, Senate, or even Trump’s blessing, MTG quit Congress entirely. Her deep-red 14th District seat now triggers a chaotic special election that will overlap with the regular 2026 primary cycle, confusing voters and inviting a scramble.

State Sen. Colton Moore is already testing the waters for GA-14, but BKP questions whether Moore has returned previous donations from the establishment Frost family and GOP PACs now that he’s running as a MAGA outsider.

Bottom line: Kemp and his allies are tightening an iron grip on every lane of Georgia Republican politics, and MTG’s resignation is the loudest evidence yet of the civil war inside the GA GOP.
