Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene refutes claims of a 2028 presidential bid following her announcement to resign from Congress in January.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia has denied reports suggesting she is considering a 2028 presidential campaign. In a post on X, Greene stated, "I'm not running for President and never said I wanted to and have only laughed about it when anyone would mention it."
This clarification comes shortly after Greene announced her intention to resign from Congress, effective January 5, 2026. Her decision follows a public fallout with President Donald Trump, who recently withdrew his support and labeled her a "traitor."
Greene expressed frustration with the current political system, stating that running for president would involve extensive travel, fundraising, and engagement in political debates, all leading to a role where she believes she would be "totally blocked from truly fixing anything."
She emphasized her lack of interest in pursuing higher office, focusing instead on her current responsibilities and expressing disillusionment with the political establishment. Greene's departure from Congress and her denial of presidential ambitions mark a significant shift in her political trajectory.
