Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene Leaves Congress with Anti-Trump Bang
Greene’s resignation follows a public break with Trump over healthcare and Epstein files, despite strong local GOP support in Georgia’s 14th district, officials said.
- On Jan. 5, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is leaving Congress after submitting her retirement letter to Gov. Brian Kemp, marking her last day after announcing resignation in November.
- Greene broke with President Donald Trump earlier this year over handling health-care costs and her calls to release Epstein files, citing Trump’s reaction to Charlie Kirk’s death as a turning point.
- Her isolation included an earlier ouster from the Freedom Caucus amid disputes, and Greene said President Donald Trump's social media remarks calling her `wacky` and a `traitor` fueled death threats against her family.
- A crowded field of Republicans has emerged to succeed Greene, including State Sen. Colton Moore, Clay Fuller and Jim Tully, while Gov. Brian Kemp must set a special-election date, and 11Alive's The Georgia Vote plans special coverage from Rome at 2:30 p.m. Monday.
- Once a MAGA luminary, Greene rose after the 2020 election with fiery rhetoric; one of her final acts was shepherding a gender-transition bill she hailed as `a win for children all over America!!`, yet she declined Senate and Georgia governor campaigns.
