Marjorie Taylor Greene Backs ACA Tax Credits Extension, Draws Unlikely Media Praise During Shutdown

She points to looming premium spikes for her district, including her adult children.

Overview

  • Co-hosts of ABC's The View called the Georgia Republican a "voice of reason" for urging both parties to keep enhanced Affordable Care Act premium tax credits in place.
  • CNN's Wolf Blitzer closed an interview by praising Greene as "a courageous politician" and "a loving mother" after discussing the shutdown fight and insurance costs.
  • Greene wrote on X that, despite disliking Obamacare, she will "go against everyone" because the expiring credits would double her adult children's 2026 premiums and burden families in her district.
  • She told CNN a shutdown would not help Republicans in the midterms and warned that ignoring the health insurance cost surge would be "very bad" politically.
  • Greene also urged release of Jeffrey Epstein–related files and said she has received numerous death threats, adding that she is seriously concerned for her safety.
