Marjorie Taylor Greene announced she will resign from Congress, and Donald Trump attributed her decision to weak poll numbers and the prospect of a primary challenge. Their feud had intensified over Greene’s support for releasing the Epstein files.
Greene said she would step down effective Jan. 5, describing a primary challenge backed by Trump as “hurtful and hateful” and saying she wanted to be able to vote her conscience. Trump said she lacked a chance of winning without his endorsement and attributed her decision to plummeting poll numbers; he also said she “went BAD” but that he would always appreciate her. He had called her resignation “great news for the country.”
The article links their feud to Greene’s support for releasing the federal government’s Epstein files, after Trump withdrew his endorsement and criticized her. Congress passed legislation ordering the files released within 30 days, and Trump signed it, according to the article. Greene’s departure would narrow Republicans’ House majority.
