Atlanta Young Republicans executive questions what purpose MTG serves in Congress
In a deep dive into what the future holds for Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) now that she has hit a major bump in the road after she failed attempt to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), Republicans in Georgia wonder if she may be stuck where she is, with a run for governor or a U.S. Senate seat out of her reach.
According to a report from USA Today, Greene blew off questions about her political future when asked what is next, telling USA Today's Ken Tran and Melissa Cruz, "Oh my goodness, what is today? Wednesday? We’re on Wednesday in May of 2024, let’s do Wednesday. Let’s try to at least maybe pass a budget that doesn’t fund Biden’s open borders. Maybe we can defund Jack Smith.”
Pressed about a possible run to replace Gov. Brian Kemp (R) who is termed out, she shot back, "Dude, I’m on Wednesday. I’m trying to do Wednesday.”

Beyond that, there are skeptics back in Georgia who don't see a path for her outside of her seat, saying her views don't fit well outside of her very conservative district.
According to Skyler Akins, executive vice president of the Atlanta Young Republicans, he's not sure where Greene fits in any more than he understands what she is doing in Washington, D.C.
“She would be smart to stay in the House. I think she serves some sort of purpose there, though I’m not sure if I know exactly what it is,” he stated before adding that the governorship is no place for her by explaining, "since it's 'a position at an executive level, like governor, would require compromise' and 'she’s shown herself to be nothing but incapable of doing that.'"
