U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene announced her resignation from Congress, citing an irreparable fallout with President Donald Trump and growing frustration with Washington’s political dysfunction. The Georgia Republican, long viewed as a fierce Trump ally and key figure in the MAGA movement, said she could no longer endure what she described as political “abuse” and a looming Trump-backed primary challenge.
In a 10-minute video posted on social media, Greene said she refused to become a “battered wife” in a political relationship she felt had turned hostile. She pointed to Trump’s escalating criticism, including attacks over her support for releasing government files related to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein — a move she said was meant to stand up for victims. Greene argued that loyalty “should be a two-way street,” suggesting Trump had discarded her for political convenience.
Her resignation, effective January 5, will shrink the GOP majority in the House, raising concerns among Republicans about internal fractures ahead of the midterm elections. Some party strategists worry that the rift could splinter the MAGA base at a crucial moment, while Democrats hope to capitalize on the turmoil to regain control of Congress.
Greene also expressed broader dissatisfaction with Congress, claiming lawmakers have been sidelined since Trump returned to the presidency and are failing to address issues such as the rising cost of living, housing affordability, and Americans’ growing debt burdens. According to Greene, ordinary citizens have been “cast aside” by political elites, echoing concerns she says she hears from her district.
Trump called her departure “great news for the country,” intensifying the public feud. Still, Greene maintained that she was leaving to protect her constituents from a divisive primary and to avoid what she described as the “absurd” prospect of defending Trump during future impeachment battles.
Despite winning her district with 64% of the vote in 2024, Greene said she would not engage in a fight funded by establishment donors, claiming such a battle would signal that the broader American public is being replaced by powerful interests she opposes.
