Greene’s Break With GOP Escalates as She Backs ACA Subsidy Extension, Drawing Trump’s Scrutiny

Republican sources cite thwarted ambitions as a driver of her break from party leadership.

Overview

  • Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene supported extending Affordable Care Act subsidies during the government shutdown fight, aligning with Democrats on the issue.
  • She has labeled Israel’s Gaza offensive a genocide, criticized Iran strikes, and signed a push to force release of Justice Department files on the Jeffrey Epstein case.
  • The White House pressed her to remove her name from the Epstein effort, which she refused, and she recently declined an invite to Trump’s Rose Garden Club opening.
  • Two GOP sources say President Trump has asked senior Republicans about her recent shifts, describing him as perplexed by her moves.
  • Greene rejects claims she has turned on Republicans or Trump, citing loyalty to her district as she clashes with Speaker Mike Johnson and questions party strategy.
