Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has announced her resignation from office, with her last day set for January 5, 2026. The news comes after a public falling out with President Donald Trump, who had previously rescinded his support for the congresswoman.
Greene took to social media to make the announcement, stating that she could not "endure a hurtful and hateful primary" against her, citing Trump's decision to back a primary challenge as the reason for her resignation. She also expressed concerns about the threats against her escalating amid her disagreements with the president on foreign policy and domestic issues.
The situation took a turn when Greene criticized Trump's focus on foreign policy and his handling of the release of Justice Department files related to Jeffrey Epstein, which Trump ultimately signed into law after strong resistance from Republicans.
Greene had been contemplating her resignation for over a week, according to a person close to her, as the threats against her continued to escalate. She has now stated that she will not be running for any office in the future.
The White House has yet to comment on Greene's decision to resign.
