Marjorie Taylor Greene announced that she would resign from Congress after weeks of clashing with President Donald Trump. Her departure will further narrow Republicans’ House majority.
Greene announced her resignation on Friday and said in a social media message that the political system of both parties was “ripping this country apart.” The report links her break with Trump to disagreements including the release of records related to Jeffrey Epstein. Trump withdrew his support for her the previous week and called her “wacky.”
Representative Thomas Massie and California Republican official John Dennis expressed support for Greene. Political science professor David McCuan said the resignation highlighted a fissure within the Republican Party and pointed to concerns surrounding the Epstein scandal. Greene’s departure will leave Republicans with a narrower House majority.
