Greene Warns GOP Risks House Loss Without Action on Cost of Living

The Georgia Republican escalates criticism of Speaker Mike Johnson’s funding strategy during the shutdown, pressing for ACA subsidy protections, an Epstein files vote, a sharper 'America First' focus.

Overview

  • In a Semafor interview, Marjorie Taylor Greene said Republicans “will lose the House” in 2026 unless they ease household costs as credit card balances reach record highs.
  • She condemned repeated votes on a short‑term spending bill during the three‑week shutdown as “a complete failure” and urged a return to passing full-year appropriations.
  • Pointing to the pending expiration of Affordable Care Act tax credits, Greene called for protections to avoid steep premium hikes and criticized the lack of a concrete GOP health plan.
  • Greene pushed for a House vote to release Jeffrey Epstein–related documents and warned of fierce public backlash if leadership changes rules to block consideration.
  • Speaker Mike Johnson countered that all 12 appropriations bills have cleared committee and blamed Senate Democrats for stalled floor action, while expressing confidence about the midterms.
