Overview
- Greene announced her resignation in a video and statement on X, setting Jan. 5, 2026 as her final day in office.
- She said she would not subject her district or family to a Trump-backed primary, framing her decision as a matter of dignity and safety.
- Trump withdrew his support earlier this month, attacked her on social media, and later called her departure "great news for the country" in an ABC interview.
- The immediate flashpoint was her push for the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which advanced via a discharge petition, passed the House 427-1, cleared the Senate by unanimous consent, and was signed into law.
- Georgia law requires Gov. Brian Kemp to issue a writ for a special election after the resignation, creating a vacancy in the 14th District.
