Marjorie Taylor Greene announced that she will resign from Congress, describing her decision as a response to President Donald Trump’s opposition to releasing investigative files and his support for a primary challenger. Her departure would narrow the House Republican majority and prompt a special election in Georgia.
Greene announced her resignation in a social-media video and said she wanted to avoid what she described as a “hurtful and hateful primary” after Trump withdrew his endorsement and pledged to support her challenger. She criticized Trump over his resistance to releasing investigative files related to Jeffrey Epstein, saying she had supported legislation requiring the Justice Department to release them. Trump called her a “traitor,” “wacky,” and a “lunatic,” according to the article.
The article says Greene had also criticized Trump on foreign policy, immigration visas and regulation of emerging technologies, and accused Republican leadership of sidelining Congress. It reports that her departure would narrow the GOP’s House majority and require Georgia Governor Brian Kemp to schedule a special election after the resignation takes effect. The article also cites CNBC’s view that her resignation could affect her future political role.
