Marjorie Taylor Greene criticized President Trump’s attacks on her and his handling of economic concerns in a CBS News interview. She also discussed her planned departure from Congress and her push for the release of the Epstein files.
Greene told CBS News that Trump’s insults were a poor reflection on him and could alienate women voters. She also criticized his portrayal of the economy, said Republicans were not doing enough to address affordability, and predicted that the party would lose the midterms. Greene said she had decided to leave Congress after a falling-out with Trump and that threats against her family factored into her decision.

13 OUTLETSGreene was reportedly sounding out Republicans about a motion to remove House Speaker Mike Johnson before leaving Congress, though she denied organizing such a move. Left-leaning outlets frame it as a parting move against Johnson before Greene leaves Congress. Center outlets chiefly pair the report that she sought support with her denial. Right-leaning outlets portray the reported move as a threat to Johnson or the Republican Party and criticize Greene’s political judgment.
