Breaking News Report
In a stunning political twist, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has announced her resignation from Congress — and former President Donald Trump says he’s thrilled about it.
The news broke Friday after Greene posted her resignation announcement, stating she will officially leave office on January 5, 2026. Within hours, Trump reacted, calling her departure “great news for the country.”
Trump Reacts: “It’s Great News for America”
During a brief call with ABC News, Trump didn’t hold back his feelings about Greene leaving Congress.
He said:
- “I think it’s great news for the country.”
- When asked if he knew beforehand: “Nah, it doesn’t matter… I think she should be happy.”
Trump and Marjorie Taylor Greene were once political allies, but the relationship soured after she criticized his administration on issues related to the Jeffrey Epstein documents and disagreed with him on key policies.
Last week, Trump even pulled his endorsement and encouraged a primary challenge against her.
Why Marjorie Taylor Greene Says She’s Resigning
Greene’s resignation letter paints a picture of deep frustration, exhaustion, and disappointment with Washington’s political culture.
Here’s a clear summary of her official statement:
⭐ 1. She says Congress is broken and controlled by special interests
Greene argues that regular Americans — the people she says she represents — are ignored while Washington prioritizes:
- Big corporations
- Foreign governments
- Endless wars
- Ballooning debt
- High living costs
She says no matter which party is in power, the “common American man and woman” keep falling behind.
⭐ 2. She says her bills were ignored and blocked
Greene claims her legislative efforts “collected dust” because the House leadership refused to bring them to a vote.
These include proposals on:
- Immigration
- English as the official U.S. language
- Health care reforms
- Census changes
- Eliminating certain visas
⭐ 3. She says Republicans lost their courage
According to Greene, the party enters “safe re-election mode” during campaign season, stopping meaningful work.
She specifically blasted the long House shutdown, saying Congress wasted valuable time due to political drama.
⭐ 4. She says Trump unfairly targeted her
In perhaps the most emotional part of her letter, she says she doesn’t want her district to suffer through a “hurtful and hateful primary” fueled by Trump.
A key quote from her statement:
“I refuse to be a ‘battered wife’ hoping it all goes away and gets better.”
She added that loyalty should be a “two-way street,” suggesting Trump turned on her despite years of support.
⭐ 5. She says she’s tired of the attacks and wants her life back
Greene describes:
- Years of political harassment
- Death threats
- Media pressure
- Lies and slander
- Lost time with family
And in a powerful emotional line, she says:
“My self worth is not defined by a man, but by God.”
Inside the GOP: Shock, Anger, and No Warning
Her resignation reportedly blindsided Republican leadership.
- House Speaker Mike Johnson wasn’t told in advance.
- A senior GOP aide described her move as “vindictive” and intended to hurt the Republican majority.
With Greene leaving, Republicans’ already thin majority (219–213) is in even more danger heading into the 2026 midterms.
Key Points from Greene’s Statement — Simplified
Here’s her message in simple terms:
✔ Washington is corrupt and controlled by powerful insiders
✔ The average American is struggling more than ever
✔ Her bills and ideas were ignored
✔ She fought hard for Trump for years
✔ Trump turned against her
✔ She refuses to be humiliated in a primary
✔ She’s exhausted from attacks and wants to return to her family
✔ She still stands by “America First” but says the movement has lost its way
✔ She will resign on January 5, 2026
Greene ends her statement saying she will return to “the people I love” and start a new chapter of her life outside Congress.
What This Means for U.S. Politics
Marjorie Taylor Greene’s departure is more than a resignation — it’s a public breakup between two of the most influential figures in the MAGA movement.
This raises major questions:
- Will Trump endorse a challenger?
- Will Greene run for another office later?
- What happens to her base of loyal supporters?
- How will her exit affect the GOP majority?
Right now, reactions across Washington range from shock to celebration to confusion.
Final Thoughts
Whether you agree with her or not, Marjorie Taylor Greene has been one of the loudest, most controversial voices in Congress. Her resignation marks a turning point in Republican politics — and a very public split with Trump.
For now, Greene says she’s stepping away from Washington to rediscover her peace, protect her family, and reconnect with the “common Americans” she says she fought for.
