Interviews with about 20 voters in Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Georgia district suggest many still support her despite her feud with Donald Trump. Some voters say they are torn between the two, while one constituent rejected Trump’s description of Greene as a “traitor.”
NBC News reports that about 20 constituents interviewed in Greene’s district had heard about the feud. Trump won the district with 68% of the vote in 2024, while Greene won re-election with 64%.
Local Republican official Angela Dollar said some voters were choosing Greene and others Trump, and she hoped they would reconcile. Constituent Susan Cooper said she still supports Trump but rejected the idea that Greene is a “traitor,” and said Greene was standing up for her beliefs.

35 OUTLETSGreene broke with Trump after backing efforts to release Epstein-related files; Trump withdrew his endorsement and said he would support a primary challenger. Their dispute became a public rift over the files and other issues. Left-leaning outlets often frame Greene’s break as strategic repositioning within MAGA, though some emphasize her file-release push or later resignation. Center outlets emphasize district voters’ reactions and the rift’s implications for the party and movement. Right-leaning outlets focus on the break’s political fallout, from a possible primary challenge to MAGA divisions, while opinion pieces sharply criticize Greene’s shift.
