The 2026 United States Senate election in Georgia will be held on November 3, 2026, to elect a member of the United States Senate to represent the state of Georgia. Incumbent Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff, who was first elected in 2021 is running for re-election to a second term in office. Republican U.S. Representative Buddy Carter has publicly expressed interest in running. Other potential Republican candidates include Chris Carr, Burt Jones, Kelly Loeffler, Brad Raffensperger, Marjorie Taylor Greene and Governor Brian Kemp, who will be term-limited in 2026. Along with Michigan, this will be one of two Democratic-held Senate seats up for election in 2026 in a state that Donald Trump won in the 2024 presidential election.

That could be either in another Trump administration if he wins back the White House or notably, in her home state of Georgia, both a Senate seat and the governor's seat will be up for grabs in 2026.
