Saturday, November 22, 2025 -In a stunning move that’s sending shockwaves through Washington, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has announced she will resign from Congress following a bitter and very public feud with former President Donald Trump. Her departure, effective early 2026, marks one of the most dramatic ruptures yet within the MAGA wing she once helped define.
What began as policy disagreements — from foreign aid to the handling of Epstein-related records — escalated into outright hostility, culminating in Trump withdrawing his endorsement and labeling her a liability. Greene, in turn, accused Trump of fueling a toxic environment and refused to subject herself or her district to what she called a “hateful” Trump-backed primary.
Greene’s exit immediately weakens an already fragile Republican majority in the House, heightening the urgency around upcoming legislative battles and the looming 2026 midterms. Her northwest Georgia district will now face a special election, injecting more uncertainty into the GOP’s strategic landscape.
Republicans are publicly attempting to downplay the impact, but privately, party operatives worry the departure signals deeper fractures inside the movement Trump still largely controls. Meanwhile, Democrats are seizing on the chaos, pointing to the resignation as evidence of an unstable GOP unable to govern even itself.
Greene’s departure also raises a more pressing question: what comes next for one of Congress’ most polarizing figures? Though she framed her resignation as an act of personal clarity and political integrity, she hinted strongly that she isn’t retreating from public life.
Whether she positions herself as an anti-Trump conservative, launches a media platform, or angles for a different political role, Greene remains a lightning rod — and her break with Trump could reshape alliances across the right. What’s clear is that this resignation isn’t an ending; it’s the opening move in a new and unpredictable chapter of Republican power struggles.
