Marjorie Taylor Greene announced she will leave Congress on January 5, 2026, after a public feud with President Donald Trump. The dispute included Greene’s criticism of Trump and his threat to support a challenger against her.
Greene said she would resign from the House in January. She cited her self-respect, family and a desire to avoid a divisive primary, while saying Republicans could lose the midterms. The announcement followed a dispute with Trump over the release of government files related to Jeffrey Epstein.
Trump criticized Greene on social media and said he would back a challenger to unseat her. Greene had supported a petition seeking the release of the files and questioned whether Trump was still putting “America First”; reports also suggested she might consider running for governor of Georgia or a Senate seat.
