Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene announced Friday she is resigning from Congress next year, effective Jan. 5, 2026.
The development comes a week after President Trump withdrew his support for Greene, one of his staunchest allies, after she criticized him and his administration for their handling of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, along with other matters.
In a four-page statement announcing her resignation posted on X, Greene said, “I have too much self respect and dignity, love my family way too much, and do not want my sweet district to endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the President we all fought for, only to fight and win my election while Republicans will likely lose the midterms.”
