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.

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.
