Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has declared she will step down from Congress, with her resignation officially taking effect on January 5, 2026, following a very public feud with former President Donald Trump.
Greene, once an outspoken Trump loyalist, revealed that their relationship deteriorated dramatically. Insiders say the tension escalated after Greene demanded transparency around sensitive documents and engaged in policy clashes that Trump found personally and politically risky.
In a video announcement, Greene used pointed language, accusing Washington insiders of “betrayal” and “corruption.” She reiterated that she would not allow her district to be dragged into a brutal primary fight she believes was being encouraged by Trump’s allies.
According to those close to her, Trump grew increasingly impatient with Greene’s unfiltered approach, and several of his followers began calling for new GOP leadership in her district. Feeling isolated, Greene opted to resign rather than wage a divisive fight.
Reflecting on her future, she signaled a shift out of elected office. While she didn’t lay out specific plans, Greene hinted at continuing her political work through media, activism, and possibly a new grassroots launching point.
What to Watch:
- How Trump and his team respond now, without Greene in Congress.
- Whether another conservative contender emerges to fill Greene’s seat in Georgia.
- Whether her resignation accelerates or highlights deeper factional divides within the GOP.
Summary:
Marjorie Taylor Greene is leaving Congress after a highly publicized break with Donald Trump. She framed her departure as a struggle for integrity over party loyalty, closing one of the most turbulent chapters of her political career.
