Marjorie Taylor Greene Announces Resignation from Congress

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene announced on November 21, 2025 that she would resign from Congress, with her last day set for January 5, 2026, following weeks of public conflict with President Trump and Republican leadership. Greene cited frustration that GOP leaders had not addressed health-care affordability and that her own legislative proposals had stalled.

The president's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, which he resisted releasing for months before ultimately relenting, was a significant factor in the rupture. Trump responded by withdrawing his support, calling Greene disloyal and attributing her decision to declining poll numbers.

Greene had built a national profile through confrontational tactics and unwavering loyalty to Trump rather than legislative accomplishments. Her departure marked a rare instance of a prominent Trump ally publicly breaking with him during his second term, and raised questions about the durability of the political style she embodied once she no longer held office.
