Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said she will resign from Congress in January after a public break with President Trump. Her departure will trigger a special election for her Georgia seat.
Greene announced her resignation in an online video, saying she did not want her district to face a “hurtful and hateful primary” against her. The announcement followed months of conflict with Trump, who had criticized her and said he might back a primary challenger. Trump later called her resignation “great news for the country.”
Greene also said Republican leadership had sidelined the legislature and that her bills had gone nowhere. Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp will have to set a special-election date after Greene’s resignation; the election will fill the remainder of her term.

47 OUTLETSGreene announced she will resign from Congress on Jan. 5, 2026, following a public break with President Donald Trump. Left-leaning outlets connect her departure to the Trump split and, in some coverage, to wider GOP or MAGA strain. Center outlets mostly report the resignation and split, also covering reactions, her successor or possible further Republican departures. Right-leaning outlets emphasize her stated grievances and possible effects on Republican control or Trump’s agenda, though one opinion piece criticizes her for leaving early.
