Former Rep. Doug Collins has made the surprising decision not to launch a campaign for any political office next year. The news comes after many speculated Collins would either challenge Georgia Senator Raphael Warnock or seek to unseat Governor Brian Kemp.

Fox News reports:

In an accompanying statement, Collins said “this is goodbye for now, but probably not forever. I do plan on staying involved in shaping our conservative message to help Republicans win back the House and Senate and help more strong, conservative candidates get elected here in Georgia.”

And he emphasized that “I believe that we, as conservatives, must be able to clearly communicate our values, and I will help keep that fight going.”

Collins, an ally of then-President Donald Trump, ran last year in the special election to fill the final two years of former GOP Sen. Johnny Isakson’s term. But then-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and the National Republican Senatorial Committee, the reelection arm of the Senate GOP, backed Sen. Kelly Loeffler.

A source close to Collins told Fox News that the former congressman said he’d “left everything on the table last cycle” and that it was “time for somebody else to step up and run for statewide office.”

So far it’s unclear who will launch a Senate campaign to unseat Raphael Warnock. Trump has already endorsed football star Herschel Walker should he decide to run for office but Walker has yet to make a final decision. Kelly Loeffler has also hinted at a rematch between Warnock and herself but has yet to make an official announcement.

Democrat-turned-Republican Vernon Jones recently announced his gubernatorial campaign to oust Republican Gov. Kemp from office.
