"But after growing disagreements with Trump during his second term, Greene announced she will leave Congress in January before her term is up. Greene said it would not be fair to her northwest Georgia district, one of the most conservative in the country, to have them "endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the President we all fought for" while noting that "Republicans will likely lose the midterms.""
"Greene's split with Trump widened in recent weeks as she pushed for the release of documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. For months, Greene had been publicly pressing Trump and top Republicans in Congress to release all files from two federal investigations into Epstein. She was part of a small cadre of Republicans who helped force a vote on the House floor to release the files"
Marjorie Taylor Greene announced she will leave Congress in January, citing unfairness to her northwest Georgia district if she faced a primary challenge from President Trump. She predicted Republicans will likely lose the midterms. The split with Trump widened after Greene pushed for the release of documents from two federal investigations into Jeffrey Epstein. Greene and a small group of Republicans forced a House floor vote that led to near-unanimous support and prompted Trump to reverse his position. Trump called her "Marjorie Traitor Greene" for her stance. Greene defended her actions as standing up for women abused by Epstein.
