WaPo: “Republicans confronted a familiar story on Monday: A highly popular governor whom the party badly wanted to run for Senate — but who has clashed with President Donald Trump — decided not to run.
…Kemp’s decision both deprives the GOP of its strongest-possible nominee and could tee things up for probably its weakest-possible nominee. Greene had said this year that she would consider a Senate campaign if Kemp doesn’t run….
But it’s enough to cause Republicans to not-subtly panic. And if she did run, it’s pretty easy to see her winning the GOP primary — the limited early polling suggests she starts with a lead — and then costing the party in the general election in a key state, just like a procession of more-extreme Republicans like her have in recent years.
