GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene hasn’t ruled out the possibility of running for Senate in Georgia.
“I haven’t made up my mind whether I will do that or not. I have a lot of things to think about,” she said in an interview with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution published Wednesday.
The conservative firebrand, who was recently booted from the House Freedom Caucus after calling then-fellow Freedom Caucus member Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) a pejorative in a verbal fight on the House floor, has toyed with the idea for months — notably after former President Donald Trump encouraged her to do so earlier this year.
“Marjorie Taylor Greene, you happen to be here. Would you like to run for the Senate? I will fight like hell for you, I tell you,” he said during a Texas rally in March.
Greene later said she hadn’t thought about it, but told NBC News that “it was so nice of him to say.”
But as a staunch ally of the Republican presidential frontrunner, Greene apparently has her eye on a higher office.
“Am I going to be a part of President Trump’s Cabinet if he wins? Is it possible that I’ll be VP?” she said in the AJC interview. If Trump asked her to be his running mate, Greene said she’d consider it “very, very heavily.”
The Trump campaign didn't immediately respond to a request for comment on whether she'd be considered for the spot.
