Marjorie Taylor Greene announced she will resign from Congress, citing her worsening break with Donald Trump and a desire to avoid a divisive primary. Her departure is expected to narrow the House Republican majority.
Greene said in a social media video that her relationship with Trump had become hostile and that she could not endure what she called political “abuse.” She connected the rift to Trump’s criticism of her support for releasing government files related to Jeffrey Epstein and said loyalty should be mutual. Her resignation is effective January 5.

47 OUTLETSGreene announced she will resign from Congress on Jan. 5, 2026, following a public break with President Donald Trump. Left-leaning outlets connect her departure to the Trump split and, in some coverage, to wider GOP or MAGA strain. Center outlets mostly report the resignation and split, also covering reactions, her successor or possible further Republican departures. Right-leaning outlets emphasize her stated grievances and possible effects on Republican control or Trump’s agenda, though one opinion piece criticizes her for leaving early.
