Georgia congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has announced she will resign from office in January, an unexpected turn for the high-profile Republican days after a public feud with President Donald Trump.
Greene, who became one of Trump's Maga superstars in US politics, posted a video statement on social media announcing she would leave Congress on 5 January 2026. 'I look forward to a new path ahead,' she said in a social media post.
Greene gained mainstream notoriety with her support and promotion of conspiracies and devout support for the president - until their recent soured relationship.
She and Trump had a public row out over the release of files related to late paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
In her resignation video, Greene ticked off a list of achievements and criticized Trump, who threatened to back a Republican candidate to unseat her in next year's election.
I have too much self-respect and dignity, love my family way too much, and do not want my sweet district to have to endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the President we all fought for, she stated.
Now, as she steps away from Congress, reports suggest Greene may be considering a run for a state office, potentially aiming for the governorship of Georgia or a seat in the Senate. This follows their fallout over Greene's support for the release of Epstein files, which had divided some factions within the party.
Before their falling out, Trump and Greene had been long time allies with the Georgia representative championing the America First agenda. However, ever since Greene's shift in stance on the Epstein documents, their relationship has significantly deteriorated, leading to a dramatic end to her Congressional career.
