Salon Analysis Says Marjorie Taylor Greene Is Unlikely to Lead MAGA After Trump

A Salon analysis argues gender expectations on the right undercut her bid for succession.

Overview

  • Columnist Amanda Marcotte contends MAGA voters will not accept a woman as their standard‑bearer, making Greene an improbable post‑Trump figure.
  • Marcotte notes Greene has tried to reposition herself with headline‑grabbing issues, including calls to release the Jeffrey Epstein files and criticism of Trump‑era foreign policy.
  • Raw Story highlights additional positions cited by Marcotte, including Greene’s opposition to Israel’s war in Gaza and her denunciations of artificial intelligence.
  • Alternet recounts Greene’s earlier controversies, from promoting QAnon to the “Jewish space lasers” claim, which continue to shape perceptions of her credibility.
  • Marcotte points to electability signals such as an internal Georgia poll showing Greene trailing Sen. Jon Ossoff by 18 points, after which she shelved a potential challenge, even as figures like JD Vance, Steve Bannon and Josh Hawley are also discussed as possible successors.
