Marjorie Taylor Greene said Republican support for Donald Trump is weakening and predicted Republicans will struggle in the midterms, citing disagreements within the party and Trump’s response to Rob Reiner’s death. She also criticized Trump’s handling of affordability.
In a CNN interview, Greene said Trump was out of touch with voters on affordability and that she expected Republicans to face a difficult midterm election. She cited backlash to Trump’s remarks about Rob Reiner’s death, House Republicans joining Democrats to overturn an executive order on collective bargaining, and Indiana Republicans rejecting Trump’s redistricting push.
Greene called Trump’s response to Reiner’s death “below the office of the president,” “classless” and wrong. The article also recounts Greene’s recent public split with Trump over several issues, including the release of Jeffrey Epstein-related files, and her announcement that she would resign from Congress in January.
