U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene told an Atlanta newspaper this week that she would consider being former President Donald Trump’s running mate in 2024 if asked.
After previously saying she was not interested, the Republican from Georgia told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that she would be interested in 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?” Greene asked.
If Trump asked her to be his running mate, Greene said she would consider it “very, very heavily,” the newspaper reported.
The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Greene also said she might run for the U.S. Senate if GOP Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp were to enter the 2026 race.
“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 published Wednesday.
Trump encouraged Greene, who has served two two-year terms as representative of her district in Rome, Georgia, north of Atlanta, to run for the Senate.
“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,” Trump 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 that.”
A Senate run against Kemp could appeal to Greene because of his criticism of Trump in regard to the 2020 presidential election. Kemp was elected governor in 2018 and re-elected in 2022. He would be term-limited and open to a Senate run in 2026.
“The 2020 election in Georgia was not stolen,” Kemp posted on social media after Trump and 18 others were indicted on Monday night.
“For nearly three years now, anyone with evidence of fraud has failed to come forward — under oath — and prove anything in a court of law. Our elections in Georgia are secure, accessible, and fair and will continue to be as long as I am governor,” Kemp tweeted.
