Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene announces her resignation from Congress following a public dispute with President Donald Trump over policy disagreements and personal attacks.
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia has announced her resignation from Congress, effective January 5, 2026, following a public falling-out with President Donald Trump. Once a staunch ally of the president, Greene's recent policy disagreements and advocacy for the release of Jeffrey Epstein's files led to a series of personal attacks from Trump, who labeled her a "traitor" and "wacky."
In her resignation statement, Greene expressed frustration with the Republican leadership, stating that the legislative branch had been "sidelined" and accusing party leaders of neglecting conservative priorities such as border security and "America First" policies. She also criticized Trump's approach to women's issues, suggesting that his derogatory remarks could alienate female voters.
Greene's departure underscores the growing tensions within the Republican Party and highlights the challenges faced by lawmakers who diverge from the president's agenda. Her resignation will trigger a special election in Georgia's 14th District, a seat considered solidly Republican.
