Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia has announced she will resign from Congress at the start of next year, marking a sudden and dramatic shift in her political career. The decision comes after President Donald Trump withdrew his endorsement of her, sparking speculation about her potential run for president in 2028.

According to sources, Greene has considered running for president in 2028, with one official stating she has privately discussed the possibility with allies. The move follows a significant rupture in her relationship with Trump, who publicly disavowed her and criticized her for what he called “traitorous” actions.

Greene’s resignation comes after months of criticism toward the president, including her challenges to his stance on U.S.–Israel relations and her push for the Justice Department to release Epstein files. She also expressed concern over the potential for a divisive primary in her district, stating she did not want her congressional district to endure “a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the president we all fought for.”

A spokesperson for Greene did not respond to requests for comment, while her daughter Lauren Greene denied reports about her mother’s political ambitions. The congresswoman’s last day will be January 5, 2026.

The developments have sparked discussions about the potential impact on the Republican field, with some analysts suggesting she could play a role similar to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in 2024, siphoning off votes from the GOP nominee.
