US EditionRep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, former Trump loyalist, says she is resigning from Congress
Greene cited GOP sidelining and a divisive primary after Trump backed a challenger; her resignation ends a controversial tenure marked by conspiracy claims, critics say.
- On Friday, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene announced she will resign from Congress in a ten-minute living-room video and set her last day as January 5, 2026.
- Facing a threatened primary from President Donald Trump’s preferred challenger, Greene said she did not want her northwest Georgia district to endure a hurtful primary and emphasized that loyalty must be mutual.
- Greene previously entered Congress in 2021 after promoting fringe conspiracy theories and lost committee assignments early, but regained influence by aligning with then-Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
- GOP figures immediately reacted, with President Donald Trump mocking her as Marjorie 'Traitor' Brown on Truth Social and Rep. Randy Fine of Florida writing on X, One antisemite down.
- Looking at policy, Greene's record shows she reversed after the October 7 Hamas massacre and pushed antisemitic conspiracy claims while seeking cuts to U.S. assistance to Israel.
