WASHINGTON (AP) — Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, a loyal supporter-turned-critic of President Donald Trump who faced his political retribution if she sought reelection, 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 didn’t want her congressional district “to have to endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the president we all fought for,” she said.
The opening in her district means Republican Gov. Brian Kemp will have to set a special election date within 10 days of Greene’s resignation. Such a special election would fill out the remainder of Greene’s term through January 2027. Those elections could take place before the party primaries in May for the next two-year term.

MTG’s claims that she was always standing up against the political insiders of Washington are completely at odds with her outspoken support of ultimate GOP insider Rep. Kevin McCarthy during his leadership battles back in 2023.
THey did so because the alternative and incumbent is much worse
Massie also supported McCarthy
If you think Mike Johnson is some great speaker your in for a shock next year
Her ambition is to be a private citizen
Trump ran her out of Congress AND politics. Way to go!
Very sad day for MAGA. She was a trooper but this and her latest attacks on Trump make no sense.
My point is that her resignation letter makes it seem like she’s forgotten all that … or (perhaps more likely) she’s just lying about her motivations now.
Why are they in trouble?
Democrats have their vulnerabilities.
Complaining about continuing resolutions and a growing national debt while clamoring for $1.5 trillion in ACA subsidies for insurance companies makes her sound like a hypocrite at best and an unhinged head case at worst.
Somewhat. MTG always seemed a little odd to me. She seemed to be in politics for reasons that were confusing.
If you curse Israel you will be cursed. God
I think she genuinely cares…but has a had a rough go in her personal life that seeps through into her public persona.
One sketchy point though is that apparently she became a multimillionaire during her time in Congress? Allegedly through insider trading.
Good riddance to MTG and you!!
Idiots like you are falling for this MTG BS. Go join the other side if you’re so upset. Good riddance to you too!!
You are such a TDS liar! Surprised you have not been zotted for the despicable TROLL you are!
Many would be happy if you would resign from FR.
Bump!
Bump!
Why Republicans are in trouble?
- Economy
- Labor market numbers
- Cost of Living/Affordability crisis
- Volatile Healthcare protections for most Americans
- Debt driven livelihoods
- Lack of inspired candidates
- Lack of campaign infrastructure building now that the likes of Lara Trump isn’t at the helm of the RNC
- MAGA fracturing and fault lines being laid bare on issues as far ranging as H1B visas to Epstein files, foreign policy, etc…
What a load of cr@p!
