President Donald Trump said he would welcome Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene returning to politics, a day after she announced she would resign in January. Their recent public rift and Greene’s departure could complicate House Speaker Mike Johnson’s job amid the GOP’s slim majority.
Trump told NBC News he would like Greene to return to politics after taking a rest, while saying it would not be easy. Their relationship had worsened as Greene criticized some of Trump’s priorities; Trump called her a “traitor” and withdrew his support for her reelection.
