"Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, a once-loyal supporter of President Donald Trump who has become a critic, said Friday she is resigning from Congress in January. Greene, in a more than 10-minute video posted online, explained her decision and said she's "always been despised in Washington, D.C., and just never fit in." Greene's resignation followed a public fallout with Trump in recent months, as the congresswoman criticized him for his stance on files related to Jeffrey Epstein, along with foreign policy and healthcare."
"In her video, she underscored her longtime loyalty to Trump except on a few issues, and said it was "unfair and wrong" that he attacked her for disagreeing. "Loyalty should be a two-way street and we should be able to vote our conscience and represent our district's interest, because our job title is literally 'representative,'" she said. Greene swept to office at the forefront of Trump's "Make America Great Again" movement and swiftly became a lightning rod on Capitol Hill for her often beyond-mainstream views."
Marjorie Taylor Greene announced she will resign from Congress with her last day on January 5, 2026. The resignation followed a public breakdown with former ally President Donald Trump after Greene criticized his stance on Jeffrey Epstein files, foreign policy, and healthcare. Trump called her a "traitor" and "wacky" and said he would back a primary challenger. Greene said she had long been loyal to Trump but insisted loyalty must be reciprocal and representatives must vote their conscience. Greene rose to prominence as a leading MAGA figure, embraced QAnon and controversial associations, and later aligned with GOP leaders as an effective legislator.
