🚨 Marjorie Taylor Greene to Resign Amid Feud with Trump
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a staunch Trump supporter and representative of Georgia’s 14th Congressional District, announced she will resign from Congress on January 5, 2026.
She shared on X:
“I’m going back to the people I love, to live life to the fullest… I will be resigning from office with my last day being Jan. 5, 2026.”
Greene’s resignation comes after a public clash with President Trump over the release of Jeffrey Epstein files, where she broke ranks with fellow Republicans to push a vote in Congress.
“I’ve always represented the common American man and woman… I have too much self-respect and dignity, love my family way too much, and do not want my district to endure a hurtful primary,” she said.
Trump reacted positively, telling ABC News:
“I think it’s great news for the country… She should be happy.”
⚡ The Feud with Trump
The spat escalated after Trump withdrew his endorsement and labeled her “Wacky Marjorie”, criticizing her for challenging him on foreign policy, government shutdowns, and the Epstein files.
Greene, a vocal supporter of QAnon and 2020 election conspiracy theories, has become one of Congress’ most outspoken members. She has framed her push to release the Epstein files as a fight against sexual abuse and corruption.

“The people of northwest Georgia lost a fighter today… The swamp could not handle a strong woman who tells the truth.”

📝 Why She’s Leaving
In a four-page resignation statement, Greene criticized Congress for serving wealthy and corporate interests instead of everyday Americans. She lamented the struggles of average families and called out illegal labor, big corporations, and foreign influence.
She also spoke about personal reasons, including missing time with family and leaving her mother’s side during her father’s brain surgery to serve in Congress:
“My self-worth is not defined by a man but instead by God, who created everything in existence.”
Greene ends her tenure leaving a legacy as a fearless, controversial, and outspoken voice in modern American politics, unafraid to challenge party leadership — even the president she once supported.
