Marjorie Taylor Greene rejected reports that she might run for president in 2028, criticizing what she called the “Political Industrial Complex.” The article also reports her plan to resign from Congress in January and quotes an anonymous Republican predicting more early departures.
Greene used posts on two X accounts over the weekend to deny interest in a presidential run, calling a Time magazine report that she was considering one “a complete lie.” She blamed what she called the “Political Industrial Complex” for distracting Americans from issues including debt, Social Security, health care, taxes and immigration, and later wrote that results mattered more than “smears, lies, attacks, and name calling.”
The article characterizes her comments as ironic in light of her past statements and actions, including her support for false claims about school shootings and other controversies. It says Greene announced Friday that she plans to resign in January amid a dispute with President Donald Trump. It also quotes an anonymous Republican who criticized the White House team and House Speaker Mike Johnson and predicted more early resignations; the article attributes that prediction to senior Republicans speaking to Punchbowl News.
