Georgia’s notorious far-right Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has announced her resignation from Congress, effective January 5, 2026, following a public spat with former President Donald Trump.
Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, known for her extremist rhetoric and conspiracy theories, announced on Friday that she will resign from Congress, with her last day set for January 5, 2026. This comes after a public falling out with Donald Trump, who finally withdrew his endorsement and denounced Greene as 'wacky' and a 'ranting lunatic.'
In a video posted on social media, Greene, who has long contributed to the toxic polarization in Washington, decried what she called the 'Political Industrial Complex,' blaming both parties for exploiting Americans through divisive tactics. She claimed, 'Americans are used by the Political Industrial Complex of both political parties, election cycle after election cycle, in order to elect whichever side can convince Americans to hate the other side more.'
Greene lamented that her legislative agenda—such as bills to make English the official language and to criminalize gender-affirming care for minors—was ignored by party leadership, saying, 'My bills... just sit collecting dust.' These regressive proposals, which target vulnerable communities, failed to gain traction even among her own party.
Her resignation will trigger a special election in Georgia’s 14th district, a seat considered safely Republican according to the Cook Political Report, highlighting the ongoing grip of right-wing politics in the region.
