Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene refutes claims of a 2028 presidential bid following her decision to resign from Congress in January.
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has announced her resignation from Congress, effective January 5, 2026, amid a public rift with President Donald Trump. In a statement, Greene expressed frustration with the legislative process and Republican leadership, stating that the legislative branch had been "sidelined" and accusing leaders of failing to advance conservative priorities.
The Georgia congresswoman, once a staunch Trump ally, has recently criticized the president on various issues, including foreign policy and the handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case files. Trump responded by withdrawing his endorsement and labeling Greene a "traitor," indicating support for a primary challenger in her district.
Amid speculation about her political future, Greene addressed rumors of a 2028 presidential run, stating, "I'm not running for President and never said I wanted to and have only laughed about it when anyone would mention it."
Greene's departure marks a significant shift within the Republican Party, highlighting internal divisions and the evolving dynamics of the MAGA movement. Her resignation will necessitate a special election to fill her seat in Georgia's 14th congressional district.
