Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., announced on Friday that she is resigning from her seat, following weeks of clashing with President Donald Trump.
“If I am cast aside by MAGA Inc and replaced by Neocons, Big Pharma, Big Tech, Military Industrial War Complex, foreign leaders, and the elite donor class that can't even relate to real Americans, then many common Americans have been cast aside and replaced as well,” Greene said in a statement posted to social media.
“Until then I’m going back to the people I love, to live life to the fullest as I always have, and look forward to a new path ahead. I will be resigning from office with my last day being January 5, 2026,” she wrote.
Greene’s announcement comes a week after Trump officially withdrew his support for the House member, who was once one of his biggest allies in Washington.
Trump called her “wacky” and blasted her for complaining, claiming that Greene was bitter at Trump after he had discouraged her from running for Senate or governor in Georgia.
Greene had told NBC News earlier that day that Trump was not focused on the “America First” policy he had promised to enact as president, blasting him for focusing on foreign policy.
It marked the latest break between the two, after Greene had expressed disagreement with the GOP on the shutdown over Obamacare subsidies, foreign policy, including Trump’s stance on the war in Gaza, and efforts to compel the administration to release files related to Jeffrey Epstein, which, until recently, Trump had opposed.
Greene was first elected to office in 2020. She won more than 64% of her district’s vote in the 2024 election.
The congresswoman once said that Trump had personally inspired her to run for the seat. Despite her break with the president, who won the battleground state of Georgia in 2024, 20 of her constituents told NBC News in interviews that they intended to stick with Greene despite the feud.
Greene, known for talking to reporters in the halls of Congress, on Friday declined to speak with NBC News, saying she was not doing hallway interviews that day.
During an interview last month amid the government shutdown, Greene did not give a definitive answer when asked if she was committed to running for re-election to the House.
“Oh, certainly I haven’t, I haven’t made any things like that,” Greene said. “I don’t, honestly, I don’t even think about it right now. I’m just like, damn it, why aren’t we back at work?”
