Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia has announced her resignation from Congress, effective January 5, 2026, following a public fallout with President Donald Trump over policy disagreements.
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia has announced her resignation from Congress, effective January 5, 2026. In a video statement, Greene cited her disillusionment with Washington politics and a public split from President Donald Trump as key factors in her decision.
Once a staunch ally of Trump and a prominent figure in the Make America Great Again movement, Greene's relationship with the president deteriorated over disagreements on foreign policy, healthcare, and the release of files related to Jeffrey Epstein. Trump labeled her a "traitor" and withdrew his endorsement, expressing support for a primary challenger against her.
Greene expressed a desire to spare her northwest Georgia district a divisive primary, stating that loyalty should be mutual and that her self-worth is defined by her faith, not by political figures.
Her resignation will prompt a special election to fill the vacancy in Georgia's 14th congressional district.
Greene's departure highlights internal fractures within the pro-Trump conservative base and raises questions about the future direction of the Republican Party.
