Marjorie Taylor Greene Exits Congress, Capping Break With Trump

Her departure leaves House Republicans with a six-vote majority.

Overview

  • Greene’s resignation takes effect at 11:59 p.m. Monday, according to letters sent to Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp and House Speaker Mike Johnson.
  • The governor has 10 days to set a special election for her deep-red district, with two other House special elections already pending in Democratic strongholds.
  • She split with the president over releasing Jeffrey Epstein records and over Republicans’ handling of expiring health-insurance subsidies.
  • In a Sunday interview on NBC’s Meet the Press, she condemned the U.S. strike on Venezuela as the “same Washington playbook” that serves corporate interests.
  • The rift escalated after her bipartisan push for Epstein file transparency won near-unanimous votes in Congress, and the president later labeled her a “traitor.”
