High-profile Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene to quit Congress after Trump feud

While she announced her departure from the House of Representatives, reports in US media have indicated Greene has shown an interest in running for state office – either as Georgia governor or for a Senate seat.

The president has commented publicly about those ambitions, writing on Truth Social during their public feud that he had previously told her that she shouldn’t run for either of those offices due to poor public polling.

Before their falling out, Trump and Greene had been long time allies with the Georgia representative championing the “America First” agenda.

But their relationship soured after Greene became one of a handful of Republicans to back a petition for the release of all files held by the US government related to Jeffery Epstein.

Trump was initially against the legislation but reversed course and asked Republicans to support it after it became clear Greene and a number of other Republicans would join Democrats to pass the measure.
