U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, an early ardent supporter of President Donald Trump and his Make America Great Again agenda, is planning to resign from office in January.
"I'm going back to the people I love, to live life to the fullest as I always have, and look forward to a new path ahead," she wrote on the social platform X. "I will be resigning from office with my last day being Jan. 5, 2026."
Greene’s move to resign from the House of Representatives comes amid an ongoing feud with Republican Party leadership over the release of files related to disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Greene, who represents Georgia’s 14th Congressional district, notably broke ranks to support releasing the Epstein files ahead of fellow Republicans.
"I’ve always represented the common American man and woman as a member of the House of Representatives which is why I’ve always been despised in Washington DC and never fit in," Greene said in a statement posted on X, adding that she was disappointed in the pushback she faced in Congress and legislators failure to meaningfully improve the lives of her constituents.
"I have too much self respect and dignity, love my family way too much, and do not want my sweet district to have 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."
