Trump was so desperate for MTG to drop Georgia Senate run he ordered a poll showing she'd get crushed

Source: The Independent

Donald Trump was so desperate to stop Marjorie Taylor Greene from attempting to run for the U.S. Senate in 2026 he had a poll commissioned to demonstrate she did not stand a chance, according to a report.

The president’s political team called on his favorite pollster, Tony Fabrizio, to conduct a survey examining Greene’s prospects of beating Democratic incumbent Jon Ossoff in a hypothetical matchup. It duly showed that the Georgia Republican Rep would lose an election challenge by a crushing 18 points, The Wall Street Journal reports.

Greene, 50, is one of the most prominent MAGA voices in the House of Representatives and is never far from the headlines, this week calling on Trump to issue a federal pardon to George Floyd’s killer Derek Chauvin.

With the current GOP majority in the House so narrow, Trump would be reluctant to lose anyone, let also a staunch loyalist like Greene, to the upper chamber of Congress.

Margie Traitor Queen wouldn't win a statewide race. No one wins this state without metro Atlanta, & enough people here would never consider voting for her that her candidacy would be doomed.
