Marjorie Taylor Greene announced she will resign from Congress, saying she wants to avoid a damaging primary fight and possible Republican losses in the midterms. Donald Trump responded by calling her “Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Brown.”
Greene said in an online video that she would resign from office, with her last day set for January 5, 2026. She said she did not want her loved ones to endure a primary fight against her backed by Trump, followed by a campaign she said Republicans could win but might cost them in the midterms.
Trump responded on Truth Social, saying Greene had “went BAD” after he refused to return her calls and referring to her as “Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Brown.” The article describes a broader split in the MAGA movement, including disagreement over Trump’s position on releasing emails related to Jeffrey Epstein’s case.
