Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene announced Friday that she will resign from Congress next year, effective Jan. 5, 2026.
The event comes a week after President Trump withdrew his support for Greene, one of her staunchest allies, after she criticized him and his administration for their handling of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, along with other matters.
In a four-page statement announcing his resignation published in XGreene said, “I have too much self-respect and dignity, I love my family too much, and I don’t want my sweet district to suffer a hurtful, hateful primary against me from the president we all fought for, only to fight and win my election while the Republicans will probably lose the midterms.”
