"A longtime Trump supporter, Greene has run afoul of Trump in recent weeks by publicly bucking him on the release of the Epstein files and H-1B visas. I have too much self-respect and dignity, love my family way too much, and do not want my sweet district to have to endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the President we all fought for, only to fight and win my election while Republicans will likely lose the midterms, Green said, announcing her resignation."
"No, John, she hasn't, Auchincloss fired back, letting out a chuckle. Not on the Epstein files? King noted. She's an outrage entrepreneur, Auchincloss replied. And she will seek out whatever the hot-button issue of the day is. And when I hear David Axelrod describe her as, quote, a formidable character in public life,' to me it says nothing about her. And it says everything about the state of our public life today in America."
Marjorie Taylor Greene announced she will resign from the House effective Jan. 5, 2026, saying she wants to avoid a primary challenge egged on by President Donald Trump. Greene cited self-respect, family priorities, and concern over a hurtful primary while Republicans may lose the midterms. A longtime Trump supporter, Greene recently clashed with Trump by publicly bucking him on the release of Epstein files and on H-1B visas. Rep. Jake Auchincloss rejected the notion that Greene had become an ally on any issues, calling her an outrage entrepreneur who chases hot-button topics and reflecting on the state of public life.
