"Ms Greene's resignation followed a public falling-out with Mr Trump in recent months, as the congresswoman criticised him for his stance on files related to Jeffrey Epstein, along with foreign policy and health care. Mr Trump branded her a "traitor" and "wacky" and said he would endorse a challenger against her when she ran for re-election next year. She said her last day would be January 5 2026."
"Ms Greene was one of the most vocal and visible supporters of Mr Trump's Make America Great Again (Maga) politics, and she embraced some of his unapologetic political style. Her break with him was a notable fissure in his grip over conservatives, particularly his most ardent base. But her decision to step down in the face of his opposition put her on the same track as many of the more moderate establishment Republicans before her who are at odds with Mr Trump."
Marjorie Taylor Greene announced she will resign from Congress effective January 5, 2026. She released a more-than-10-minute video saying she did not want her district to endure a hurtful primary against her by the president they fought for. Her resignation followed a public falling-out with Donald Trump over his stance on Jeffrey Epstein files, foreign policy, and health care. Trump called her a "traitor" and "wacky" and said he would endorse a challenger; he later called her resignation "great news for the country." Greene had been a highly visible MAGA supporter but broke publicly with Trump; she said her convictions remain unchanged and cited faith.
