Marjorie Taylor Greene announced that she will resign from Congress on Jan. 5, saying she did not want to face a primary challenge from President Donald Trump. Trump had recently called her a “traitor” and later described her plans as “great news for the country.”
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said in an online video and statement that she would leave Congress in January, with her last day in office set for Jan. 5. She said she did not want to face a “hurtful and hateful primary” against her by President Donald Trump, and argued that loyalty should go both ways.
The announcement followed recent ruptures between Greene and Trump, including her help in forcing a vote to require the Justice Department to release files related to Jeffrey Epstein. Trump had called her a “traitor” and later said her plans were “great news for the country.” Speaker Mike Johnson did not immediately comment, and the article reported that Greene’s announcement surprised colleagues, Republican leaders and some staff.
