Marjorie Taylor Greene told CNN that Republican support for Donald Trump is weakening and predicted losses for Republicans in the 2026 midterms. She criticized Trump’s response to Rob Reiner’s death and his comments on affordability, while a White House spokesperson defended Trump and attacked Greene.
In a CNN interview, Greene said Republican lawmakers were increasingly willing to defy Trump and predicted that Republicans would lose in the 2026 midterms. She pointed to lawmakers’ opposition to Trump’s executive order on federal workers and Indiana Republicans’ rejection of redistricting as signs of that shift. She also said she doubted House Speaker Mike Johnson would remain in power.
Greene called Trump’s response to Rob Reiner’s death “classless” and “just wrong,” and criticized his comments dismissing affordability concerns. She urged him to show empathy and focus on domestic priorities. White House spokesperson Davis Ingle responded that Trump remained the MAGA movement’s leader and accused Greene of abandoning her constituents.
