Kemp's Decision Shakes Up 2026 Senate Race | JQJO

Georgia Governor Brian Kemp's decision not to challenge Senator Jon Ossoff (D-GA) impacts the 2026 Senate race. While Georgia remains a toss-up, Ossoff's reelection prospects improve. Other key races include Michigan, a toss-up despite Democratic advantages; Minnesota and New Hampshire, leaning Democratic; and North Carolina, where former Governor Roy Cooper's potential candidacy is pending. Despite early developments, significant candidate decisions remain, particularly in Maine and Texas. Republicans are still favored to retain Senate control.
