Trump Withdraws Support for Marjorie Taylor Greene, Signals Backing a 2026 Primary Rival

Greene’s push to force publication of Jeffrey Epstein records has become the flashpoint as a House vote looms.

Overview

  • President Trump denounced Greene as having gone left, revoked his endorsement, and said he would support a primary challenger if the right person runs.
  • Greene said Trump "attacked and lied" about her and posted a screenshot of a text she says she sent him about releasing Epstein files, which she claims triggered his response.
  • House Republicans are pressing for a vote to publish Justice Department records tied to Epstein, a transparency effort Trump has repeatedly dismissed as a hoax, according to reporting.
  • Greene reported a surge of threats after Trump’s break and accused him of feeding and inciting them, saying private security firms have contacted her about safety.
  • In a CNN interview, Greene vowed to stop using toxic rhetoric and said being labeled a traitor by Trump was dangerous, reflecting a broader shift in her public posture.
