"I have not ruled anything out," Loeffler announced in a Fox News interview this weekend.
Loeffler, who was appointed to the Senate by Republican Gov. Brian Kemp after then-GOP Sen. Johnny Isakson left in 2019 due to health reasons, narrowly lost to Democrat Raphael Warnock in a January Senate runoff election in the race to fill the last two years of Isakson’s term. Warnock’s razor-thin triumph, followed by Democrat Jon Ossoff’s close triumph that same day over Republican Sen. David Perdue in a separate runoff election, tilted the Senate majority to the Democrats.
Loeffler spoke after meeting on Wednesday in the country's capital with longtime Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell.

"When I was a senator, I built great relationships in order to serve the people of Georgia, and one of those relationships was with Leader McConnell, so I wanted to update him on the situation in Georgia, and part of talking about the Georgia landscape is talking about 2022," Loeffler shared.

Yet Loeffler stressed that her "focus right now is on building Greater Georgia." That’s the voter registration and outreach group in the Peach State that she launched in February.
"Greater Georgia is about expanding and diversifying our movement, strengthening election integrity, and making sure that we demonstrate that Georgia is a red state in 2022 and beyond," she stressed. "There’s a tremendous amount of work that we’ve done. There’s a lot more work to do. We’ve registered thousands of conservatives already. We’ve been working every day on election integrity."

Georgia was long a reliably red state. Though President Biden narrowly edged then-President Trump in Georgia in November, becoming the first Democrat to win the state in a presidential election in over a quarter-century. And two months later, the Democrats swept the twin Senate runoff contests.

The Senate is currently split 50-50 between the two major parties, though the Democrats hold a majority due to Vice President Kamala Harris's tie-breaking vote through her constitutional duty as president of the Senate. That means the Republicans only require a net gain of one seat in the 2022 midterm elections to recapture the majority they lost in January.

While the GOP’s defending 20 of the 34 seats up for grabs next year – including five open seats – national Republicans regard Warnock as one of the most exposed Democrats on the 2022 ballot.
Loeffler didn’t meet with Sen. Rick Scott of Florida, the chair of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, when she was in Washington, yet according to sources familiar with the matter, she and the Senate GOP reelection armchair have spoken many times.
