Trump Breaks With Marjorie Taylor Greene, Threatens to Back 2026 Primary Challenger

The rupture caps months of rising tension over Greene's repositioning within the GOP.

Overview

  • Trump denounced Greene on social media, said she had moved very far to the left, mocked her as “Wacky Marjorie,” and warned he would support a challenger if the right person runs.
  • Greene responded on X that Trump attacked and lied about her and posted a screenshot of a text she says she sent him about releasing Jeffrey Epstein files.
  • A House vote on the disclosure of Epstein documents is expected next week, which Greene says is the issue that set Trump off.
  • Greene said she has received threats after the break, accusing Trump of fueling harassment by his online supporters.
  • The split follows Greene’s recent moves to soften her public profile, including declining Senate and governor bids, criticizing party leaders and donors, and appearing on Bill Maher’s show and The View, as Republicans reassess strategy after Democratic gains in New Jersey and Virginia.
