Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) announced Friday that she will resign from Congress after her falling out with President Trump.
“I will be resigning from office with my last day being January 5, 2026,” Greene said in a lengthy statement.
Greene’s shock announcement comes exactly a week after Trump withdrew his “support and endorsement” of the congresswoman amid her demands that the administration release documents related to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Trump fumed that despite his “Record Achievements for our Country,” all Greene does is “COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN!”
The president referred to Greene as “wacky” and a “lunatic” in last week’s Truth Social post.
Greene cited Trump’s call for a Republican to step up and challenge her in a primary ahead of the 2026 midterm elections as part of the reason she decided to step down.
“I have too much self respect and dignity, love my family way too much, and do not want my sweet district to have to endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the President we all fought for, only to fight and win my election while Republicans will likely lose the midterms,” Greene said.
