Trump Withdraws Endorsement of Marjorie Taylor Greene, Signals Primary Challenge

Greene has tied the rupture to her drive to force release of DOJ Epstein files.

U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) speaks to reporters after a press conference to discuss the Epstein Files Transparency bill, directing the release of the remaining files related to the investigations into Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., U.S., September 3, 2025.

Overview

  • In a Friday Truth Social post, President Donald Trump rescinded his backing for Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, calling her "Wacky" and a "ranting lunatic" who "complains" about his administration.
  • Trump said he would give "Complete and Unyielding Support" to a Republican who challenges Greene in Georgia's 14th District if "the right person runs."
  • Greene fired back on X accusing Trump of lying about her, posting screenshots of texts about the Epstein records, and asserting he is trying to scare Republicans before an expected House vote next week on releasing the files.
  • The clash follows Greene's recent breaks with GOP leaders and the White House on policy, including criticism of foreign‑policy priorities, support for extending ACA subsidies, and her role in a discharge petition on the Epstein documents.
  • Trump argued the rift began after he discouraged Greene from exploring a Senate or governor bid based on polling he said showed her near 12%, and he also faulted her media appearances such as The View.
