Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene announced she will resign from Congress on Jan. 5, 2026, after a public break with President Donald Trump. Her departure will prompt a Georgia special election and could further complicate Speaker Mike Johnson’s narrow House majority.
Greene said she will step down on Jan. 5, 2026, and described herself as having been “cast aside” by Trump and other powerful interests. The announcement followed Trump’s withdrawal of his support and a public feud that included disagreements over Epstein-related files, Gaza policy and Obamacare subsidies.
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp will have to call a special election to fill Greene’s seat. The article says her departure could further complicate the House Republican majority, and reports that Greene did not give Johnson advance notice.

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.
