Trump Withdraws Endorsement of Marjorie Taylor Greene, Signals Openness to Primary Challenge

The break follows Greene’s push to force a House vote next week on releasing Justice Department files related to Jeffrey Epstein.

Overview

  • Trump announced the move in a Friday Truth Social post, calling Greene "Wacky" and a "ranting lunatic" and asserting she "has gone Far Left."
  • He said he would give "Complete and Unyielding Support" to a primary opponent in Georgia’s 14th District if the right candidate emerges.
  • Greene responded on X that the president "attacked" and "lied" about her, sharing texts about the Epstein files and alleging he aims to scare Republicans before the vote.
  • Greene is one of four House Republicans who signed a discharge petition to force consideration of releasing DOJ Epstein records, with a vote expected next week.
  • The dispute tracks a broader policy rift, as Greene criticizes a foreign‑policy focus and presses on affordability and health care after years as a staunch Trump ally.
