Marjorie Taylor Greene to Resign From House on Jan. 5, 2026 After Split With Trump

Her decision follows a rupture with President Trump over efforts to force disclosure of Justice Department files tied to Jeffrey Epstein.

Overview

  • Greene announced her departure in a video, saying she never fit in Washington and would not endure a Trump-backed primary fight.
  • Trump withdrew his support, called her a traitor and crazy, and pledged to endorse an opponent against her.
  • She was among a small group of Republicans who joined Democrats to push a vote requiring full release of Epstein-related Justice Department records.
  • Her exit is set to narrow the Republican House majority to 218 seats versus 213 for Democrats, according to published tallies.
  • In recent years she rose as a MAGA-aligned firebrand and represents a deeply conservative northwest Georgia district where she won 64% of the vote in 2024.
