Marjorie Taylor Greene to Leave House on Jan. 5 After Break With Trump

She frames the move as an effort to avoid a bruising primary following a clash with President Trump over Epstein file disclosures.

Overview

  • Greene announced her resignation in a video of more than 10 minutes and posts on X, saying she never fit in Washington.
  • President Trump withdrew his endorsement, labeled her a traitor and eccentric, and said he would back a primary challenger.
  • Greene cited self-respect, dignity, family, and a desire to spare Georgia’s 14th District a painful, hateful primary.
  • A key dispute involved her push to publish Department of Justice records on Jeffrey Epstein, which Trump later signed into law.
  • Her exit underscores Republican factional pressures and reshapes 2026 primary calculations in her district.
