Marjorie Taylor Greene announced she will resign from Congress in January after a public falling-out with Donald Trump. Her departure will leave Georgia’s 14th District seat vacant and is prompting political reactions.
Greene said in an online video that she plans to resign in January, citing her falling-out with Trump and accusing him of directing resources toward efforts to defeat her in 2026. She also said criticism of his positions had led to threats against her and her family. Trump disputed her account, saying she resigned because she feared his endorsement and accusing her of having “gone bad.”
Democratic candidate Shawn Harris said his campaign had anticipated the possibility of Greene leaving but did not expect it so soon. Republican radio host Martha Zoller said she was surprised and objected to officials not finishing their terms. Greene’s seat is set to become vacant, and Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp is expected to call a special election.
