Trump Withdraws Endorsement of Marjorie Taylor Greene, Threatens Primary Challenge

Greene’s drive to force release of Epstein case files is the immediate flashpoint.

Overview

  • In a Truth Social post Friday night, the president labeled the Georgia Republican "Wacky" and a "ranting lunatic" and claimed she has "gone Far Left."
  • He said he could back a challenger in her deep‑red district "if the right person runs," signaling a potential primary fight.
  • Greene responded on X that Trump "attacked me and lied about me," posting screenshots of texts and tying the rupture to her push on the Epstein records.
  • A House vote to compel the Justice Department to release Epstein‑related files is expected next week after Greene joined a small group of Republicans on a discharge petition.
  • The split caps weeks of friction over priorities, with Greene blasting the administration’s foreign‑policy focus and GOP leaders’ lack of a plan to address rising health‑care costs.
