Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia announced on Friday night that she will resign her seat in the House of Representatives, with her last day in office being Jan. 5.

Greene’s announcement, in a video and statement posted on X, followed a dramatic break with President Donald Trump, which she cited as playing a role in her decision to leave Congress in the middle of her third term.

Green, 51, had been a leading supporter of Trump and a prominent figure in his Make America Great Again, or MAGA, movement, while sparking controversy for promoting conspiracy theories and using extreme rhetoric. But she recently faced harsh criticism from Trump, who called her a “traitor” and a “lunatic,” for, among other things, backing a bill to compel the Department of Justice to release investigative files about Jeffrey Epstein, the notorious sex offender.

Greene also has criticized the Republican president for what prioritizing meeting with foreign leaders at the expense of paying attention to the needs of Americans. Trump on Nov. 14 said that he was withdrawing his support and endorsement of Greene, whom he called “Wacky” in a Truth Social post, and said that he would fully support “the right person” if they challenged her in the Republican primary next year.

[no_hypocrisy]

1. Must have been one hell of a credible threat . . . .

[NotHardly]

12. My thought exactly. Leaving does not necessarily make her safer.

[hamsterjill]

37. Yeah, there's more to this...

I never thought I'd be saying this, but I think it's a bad thing that she's quitting. It is going to show any other Republican that dares stand up to Trump that they ultimately get whacked down.

Am I wrong????

[FoxNewsSucks]

47. I agree, I never took her to be a quitter.

[popsdenver]

99. I think it is more a situation of

"Take your money and run" to Georgia to run for Governor maybe.

Just like all the other DC Republican Politicians, it has been reported that she used insider information in the past number of years to amass a small fortune. She entered the House worth around 700K? and she is leaving with a reported 25 Million? During Trump's first occupation of the White House, during covid, and these past 10+ months there have been some ludicrous FORTUNES made by the already rich, the wannabe rich, Politicans and the well connected....they don't even try to keep their grifting/looting secret any more.....

WASF

[hamsterjill]

101. I have no doubt that you are right as to the money.

I have no illusions as to this woman and I have not believed her recent change of heart one iota. It would take a very, very long time for her to redeem herself in my eyes. I still remember her treatment of Biden, and the many reporters that she was ugly and rude toward.

But I don't think she would give up a seat now in order to run for Governor. She would want to continue to have the platform in Congress to start campaigning. Just my two cents...

[popsdenver]

115. Only if they switch to being Dems

Will I ever cut them ANY slack, that goes for all of them Pence, Cheney, etc

They all were in lockstep, arm in arm, corruptly installing Trump into power, AND keeping him there.....day by day, year by year, for the last 9 years.....
Now they are finally all realizing they created a modern day Frankenstein's monster, and they lost control of him. In fact he is controlling all of them....

[Mr.Bee]

2. She Strarts Her New Job At FOXNEWS

I'll Bet...

[tanyev]

5. Tell-all book?

[Septua]

11. I hope not...

I want her out of politics, out of the news, out of sight, out of mind.

[agingdem]

71. She had power as long as Kevin McCarthy was speaker..

Last edited Sat Nov 22, 2025, 06:46 AM - Edit history (2)

he protected her but once McCarthy was ousted and resigned she had no cover ..and when Jasmine Crockett, AOC ,and Jared Moskowitz turned Greene and her crazy talk into comedic punchlines, porn monitor/Trump ass-kisser Mike Johnson wanted her out..

her sudden transformation from Jewish space lasers to advocating for the release of the Epstein files and voicing her disdain for the shutdown prompted Trump to rip her to shreds on his social platform , “inviting” his violent MAGA militia to terrorize her into silence…and just like that she was done…

[TBF]

42. Either that or planning her presidential campaign ...

[Volaris]

48. That was my second thought as well.

[Chellee]

53. Ding. Ding. Ding. Ding. And we have a winner!

She starts her presidential exploratory committee on Jan. 6. Bet on it.

[quakerboy]

100. How would resigning from her seat help that in any way?

[Chellee]

105. Time.

Last edited Sun Nov 23, 2025, 01:17 PM - Edit history (1)

She's resigning two days after she's eligible for her congressional pension. Her net worth has increased 10x, so she's made all the money she's going to out of being in Congress,

Now she has time to say "I'm not like all those other politicians. When they weren't working for you, but only themselves, I noped right out of there." She'll travel and do rallies to take her "outsider" message directly to the people. She'll start a podcast. "If only I were president, I could fix this. They don't care about you and your concerns, but I do."

And then, reluctantly, because no one else is looking out for the little guy, she'll agree to run. For you. For America.

Don't get me wrong, she's still a complete frickin' lunatic, and will be still in 2028. Even in that miles long statement she released she couldn't resist talking about Covid tyranny, so yeah, she's nuts. But she got a facelift and better clothes. She's learning how to moderate her speaking style to appeal to non Maga. She's running.

[Lonestarblue]

96. Running for Senate against Ossoff?

[TBF]

117. Maybe - but she's pretty full of herself

I could see her thinking that she wants to be president.

[JBTaurus83]

3. Wow!

I hope for her sake that she really has changed.

[Wonder Why]

46. Are you kidding? If The Thing had not turned against her, nothing she said in her letter

would have meant a thing. And during her tenure, was there any action on her part to do anything about those things she is suddenly whining about? As to the common people, what did she do to help anybody but herself? She going to give back any of that insider trading money? All she did was enrich herself. I'd love to see how much of her income she has given pack to the "common people".

She is a phony, has always been a phony and will forever remain a phony.

[JBTaurus83]

52. I don't disagree

It would be nice if she was able to learn anything that’s all. The chances may be slim.

[TBF]

118. I've read that Marge is the daughter

of a successful businessman down there in Georgia (her dad was some sort of contractor & sold the business to her first husband). She graduated from the University of Georgia, not nearly as dumb as she looks. She lives in an uber-red area and she is MAGA to the core. She wants to be queen of the MAGA, but I'm not sure they'll vote for a woman, even if it's her. At least not for president, maybe for governor or senator.

She's up to something.

[msongs]

4. who puts up her xmas tree by november 21st? MTG bt

[chowder66]

16. Mine is up.

[Silent Type]

6. Never a dull moment nowadays.

[Grim Chieftain]

7. On Chris Hayes now

Wow! Never saw this coming!

[Septua]

17. I was surprised she would give up the Rep salary.

But according to Google AI:

Personal Finances: Since entering Congress in 2021, her net worth has increased significantly, jumping from around $700,000 to as much as $25 million, which has been partially attributed to her business assets

So she can afford to quit.

[Grim Chieftain]

21. Didn't know she had that much money

We have seen such a huge turn-around from her in the last few months. I'd like to think she's going to give up politics, but I wonder if she has something else in her sights.

[AZ8theist]

35. She cashed in BIGLY on her insider trading fueled by Dotard. Why "work" anymore?

[Justice matters.]

95. Had she paid back her COVID taxpayers PPP (or what is called)?

You know, the workers's money (or credit line, rather).

[travelingthrulife]

102. She made a killing in Trump's Pump and Dump stock market schemes

[Cheezoholic]

8. She's running for Prez or Senate or Gov I'd bet. A leaching ladder climber like her aint gonna stop at the House n/t

[Irish_Dem]

18. This is what I think. Running for POTUS.

[JCMach1]

36. Yep, Would be my guess.

[speak easy]

104. " This is what I think. Running for POTUS."

But not necessarily thinking she can win. More likely a revenge candidate to prove she is the MAGA-ist is MAGA of them all, which may pay off handsomely in her post politics life.

[Irish_Dem]

107. MTG is a narcissist and thinks she is the smartest person in the room.

She thinks everyone is jealous of her.

[speak easy]

108. I am more jealous of pond scum [1]

1. The Wolf of Wall Street

[BaronChocula]

64. She may try those things

But someone needs to tell her she's on the Palin career trajectory. She's flaming out.

[Dulcinea]

83. Probably not POTUS.

But the Fascist Felon told her not to run against Ossoff for Senate. I'm betting she announces her Senate run soon. The Repubs desperately want Ossoff gone.

[calimary]

113. All the more reason to keep him!

[Srkdqltr]

9. Rats leaving a sinking 🚢 ship?

[dalton99a]

10. "Fuck it"

[sop]

13. She might be running for Georgia governor or the U.S. Senate seat in 2026.

[Silent Type]

19. You beat me. I know she declined both earlier.

[AdamGG]

60. I hope she runs for the Senate

Ossoff should beat her. She's polarizing and outside of her base has high negatives. It would boost Democratic turnout.

[underpants]

76. She's got no chance. Her appeal is specific to that district not statewide.

She’s the daughter of a big construction company owner. Her ex husband still runs it.

She somehow went through high school and UGA without many people remembering her.

She started a couple Planet Fitness franchises and was apparently openly know to be having sex with a member.

Her first claim to fame is as a QAnon influencer. She filed to run and she put in the work. I’ll give her that.

[InstantGratification]

14. I had to step back and check myself on this and think for a bit.

I was thinking in terms of elections and a new congress being sworn in and that happens on Jan 3rd. Is she really going to take the oath on the 3rd just to resign 2 days later? Then it hit me what I was missing, this resignation is Jan 5th 2026, not post mid term Jan 5th 2027. That still sets up a special vacancy in that seat and a special election to fill it before the mid terms.

[BumRushDaShow]

20. Yeah and I think she is in a "safe" red district (NW GA)

and Kemp will just do a special election (although they do have a "run off process", should no one get more than 50%, and that would extend the time to fill)...

[groundloop]

29. That's an extremely red district, I used to live in it.

There's just about exactly a zero percent chance of a Democrat taking that seat. It'll go to whichever right wing candidate is the bat-shit-craziest.

[Fiendish Thingy]

72. MTG is resigning a *year* before the next congress is sworn in.

She’s leaving in six weeks; the next congress isn’t sworn in until January 2027.

[TBF]

119. All that, and she's qualified for her pension. nt

[Silent Type]

15. Would not be surprised if she jumps in Georgia's Gubernatorial race, or maybe even Senate. She declined both earlier.

[mtngirl47]

59. I thought Trump shut her down for the Senate run

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100220773057

[Silent Type]

67. He refused to endorse her. Maybe she thinks by abandoning trump she can appeal statewide.

I do think his refusal to endorse her, is largely responsible for her apparently turning on trump in some key matters- healthcare (her family needs subsidies) and Epstein rapes.

[mahina]

22. Wowie. But, resigning effective Nov 5 2026

I don't understand that timeline but what do I understand about her? Nothing.

[generalbetrayus]

25. She's retiring effective January 5, 2026.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

23. I was surprised by this

Link to tweet

[generalbetrayus]

24. I think she has finally seen that she, as a woman,

has no future in the RethugliKlan party. I was struck by her saying she was not going to be a battered wife. The only women OJ Caesar will tolerate are those who fawn and bow down before him.

[JoseBalow]

26. Adios, fucko

I wish her all the worst.

[LittleGirl]

27. Good for you MTG

Are you going to pay back the PPP loan you got and had forgiven? Hmmm

Put your money where your mouth is Marge.

[Wednesdays]

28. She'll be replaced with someone even more MAGA.

Maybe not as vocal or flamboyant, but more MAGA. It's a safe R district.

[PSPS]

30. More than anything, I think this is another sign of trump's diminishing power.

[hamsterjill]

57. How so? I don't follow.

She went up against him and is now resigning. It would seem to me that she's been threatened by him. Her resignation will NOT incentivize other Republicans to stand up to Trump.

Interested in your perspective, please. Thank you.

[rubbersole]

80. She's aware of tsf's decline.

So is the entire GOP. When he has to vacate-the repub infighting will be their demise. Not wanting to be around when half of your colleagues already hate your guts and want you gone...that would be my choice in her situation. Who knows what bounces around in her skull. I wish all these freaks would resign. Or rep is Cory Mills. Slimmest repub rep.

[GreenWave]

31. 1 down, couple hundred more to go.

[BumRushDaShow]

34. At least clowns like Gaetz and Santos went bye bye earlier...

(some like Chip Roy are also going)

Wish she'd take Gymsuit with her.

[lonely bird]

58. Unfortunately

Ohio is gerrymandered Gym Jordan is safe.

Ohio is fucked.

[BumRushDaShow]

85. "Gym Jordan is safe."

That's what people assumed about MTG.

(and here we are)

[lonely bird]

89. True, but...

Gymbo’s lips far firmly attached to various parts of Trump’s anatomy. I think as long as that is the case Gymbo has little to nothing to worry about. His Ohio-Bama district is firmly red. The only thing that might bring him down is some in depth investigation into the Ohio State wrestling mess. Get a spotlight on that and with enough rocks turned over his ass might be grass.

[BumRushDaShow]

90. I would gladly take Cheeto Boner back

if we could get rid of Gymsuit.

[lonely bird]

91. Agree completely

Former Speaker Drinky would be a step up.

Of course, that is a very low bar but then as long as the bar has wine Drinky would be good with it.

[Solly Mack]

32. Somebody got a horse head in the bed.

[TNNurse]

33. Did anyone see this coming???

[BumRushDaShow]

39. Wasn't on MY Bingo Card

[ancianita]

41. Not really. When a woman of the Freedom Caucus (Koch's people) has to have 24/7 security surrounding her and

her family because of death threats, yes, and with the explicit details of those threats unknown --- the part we didn't see coming but she did -- her description of being a battered wife, blah, blah, makes it not all that surprising. When I heard of this a half hour ago, I thought, yep, there it is.

[womanofthehills]

77. Trump called her a traitor

I bet the death threats are horrific. The Republicans all want to murder each other. Someone from Turning Points (according to Candace) said she was supposed to be murdered - not Charlie but that she and Tucker were on the kill list. Anna of Young Turks says she gets lots of death threats & she is not suicidal and if she’s killed, a certain country has been threatening her & to blame them. Kim Iverson said she’s getting death threats, someone broke into her house while she was home and
she’s not suicidal etc. Even Bill Maher says he has security.

Since Charlie’s death, house member security has been raised from $5,000 to $10,000 a month for security guards (expected to expire today) -but will be expanded Actually, $50,000 for 4 months. Everyone is freaked out after Charlie Kirk assignation.
House members also got $20,000 each to upgrade their house security cameras, etc

This is sick. Podcasters, journalists, representatives all need security now. Charlie Kirk traveled with 6 to 10 security guards and that didn’t save him. When Kirk was on Bill Mauers he questioned Charlie about having so much security with him. Candace said he kept telling her they “are going to kill me”

[Ellipsis]

38. My only question is... who wrote her resignation speech?

[BumRushDaShow]

40. Probably her staff

who are about to be laid off.

[Ellipsis]

54. fairly verbose... but makes sense.

[The Grand Illuminist]

43. After January 5th

We will not be responsible for what may or may not happen. You brought it on yourself.

[LilElf70]

44. Ba Bye Babette

Oh Happy day!!!!

[COL Mustard]

45. Happy Thanksgiving!!!

And a happy new year!!!

She’s still a viper and not to be trusted.

[orangecrush]

49. Rattled by the threats?

Can't blame her.

[dobleremolque]

50. And this is bad news, how? n/t

[DJ Synikus Makisimus]

55. My thoughts are expressed best in song (by the Jam)

&list=RDm-H0uIH5HHQ&start_radio=1

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

56. Wow

[choie]

61. She's always represented

the common everyday POS, unreconstructed QAnon, freak.

[somaticexperiencing]

62. Never thought I'd feel bad for Marjorie Taylor Greene to leave, but I do. She has recently been an awesome thorn in

his side, voice against him, even a voice for sanity surprisingly once in awhile.

What is in the water over there?

Also, not a good precedent for those who stand up, even just a little.

The mold has to be completely eradicated. And it will be. The only question is when and how far the infestation has to go before everyone stands up to the creep.

[The Polack MSgt]

63. Smart to leave the SA before the SS takes tactical control

But you've painted a bullseye on yourself.

oh. fuck you too

[C Moon]

65. They have some dirt on her.

[niyad]

66. The first thing that came to my mind is some kind of serious health issue.

Apart from her use of steroids and who knows what else, I have nothing to base this on. A presidential run, as suggested upthread, is far more likely, but there it is.

[area51]

68. MTG: "I have never valued power, titles, or attention...."

[Marcuse]

69. "I made her an offer she couldn't refuse."

[cstanleytech]

70. She probably got offered a job as a lobbiest that will earn her $$$$$ and she is going to take it.

[riversedge]

84. That is basically what I am thinking.

[wiggs]

73. IMHO this is not very believable theater. Could be any number of things, but I'm guessing she's in

line to be Vance's VP when TSF faceplants.

[Onama Biden Man]

74. She's playing the game of thrones

I always thought that MTG was just a stupid woman, but I now see that she’s actually very politically cunning and astute. She sees the writing on the wall and probably knows it’s going to get way worse for Trump and the republicans, so she’s pivoting and positioning herself to run for higher office (probably president) when this over. It’s probably smart of her to get off this sinking ship before things get crazy bad for republicans. She’s a horrible human being and would be a disastrous president, but she’s been making politically savvy moves that may pay off for her. Time will tell.

[LudwigPastorius]

75. Turn tail and run the second Orange Daddy pushes back, you loony.

Good riddance!

[CentralMass]

78. I googled some questions about her networth. Prior to being elected to Congress it was $2.5 to $ 3 million.

It is now estimated to be $22.5 million.

[IbogaProject]

79. It will be effective on the actual very first day she becomes eligible for lifetime pension

And lifetime health care. She will be back for GA senate and if that fails GA Governor.

[BumRushDaShow]

86. Yup.

Something that Santos was unable to accomplish (5 years and then vested)!

[BadgerKid]

87. Possibly trying to rack up multiple pensions. Nt

[Drum]

81. I think I read something about T**mp no supporting MTG's aspiration to run for Senate?

I don’t have links at hand, but did read references to this, and read it via DU I believe.

[Mysterian]

82. Total grifter

Signs off on the day she gets her bennies.

[Bengus81]

88. So why not resign TODAY,why wait until Jan?

Yeah...whatever Traitor Green.

[ballardgirl]

103. On Jan 6 she will have 5 years

and will be vested and eligible for a full Federal retirement. Not a lot of $$ but it is something.

[sop]

92. That letter is a campaign speech, it reads like something an aspiring insurgency candidate would write.

I suspect Marge is hoping Trump's Republican party destroys itself by 2028 so she can step in as the true MAGA candidate.

[AKwannabe]

93. Need a meme of MTG in a handmaiden suit

That will put a cherry on top of this story.
Poor MGT…thinks she is a battered wife.

Handmaiden! What the fuck did you think was gonna happen? Pa thetic!

[bluestarone]

94. I wish she would reconsider. She could be TSF's Joe Manchin.

She could vote with Democrats for one full year. THAT would be proof to me that she has a change of heart. If not, well then she's the same ol Marjorie Green.

[ChicagoTeamster]

97. Now the House balance will be R218 D216. She should have announced last day before House holiday recess.

That way they would have had less time to schedule an election to get her replacement. But, this still works out for a short term benefit. Dems should start sponsoring bills to clawback funding for companies that took their tax breaks and either didn't invest it in hiring or capital improvement or who raised prices beyond what was justified by Trump tariff costs. And, they should always phrase it as Trump tariff cost.

[BumRushDaShow]

106. "Now the House balance will be R218 D216."

There are 3 vacancies at the moment (+ 1 more once MTG leaves), so it's currently 219 - 213.

There is a (D) seat (TX) with a runoff election scheduled in December, an (R) seat with a special election also in December, a (D) seat (NJ) special election in April 2026, and finally MTG's seat's special election some time in February/March 2026 (which might end up with a further runoff election after that if no one gets greater than 50%).

So by the end of January, it could be 219 - 214 (assuming (R)s get the highly contested TN seat), and by the end of April, it would be 220 - 215.

IF (D)s could actually pick up the TN seat, then it would be 219 - 216.

[ChicagoTeamster]

111. Thanks, I thought only the Dem seat in TX was still unsettled. I thought the Dem was expected to win the TN seat

[BumRushDaShow]

114. The TX race had so many running

that it ended with a runoff, so that runoff election will happen in December (it's still a blue seat and will stay (D)).

The TN seat is a hope hope hope (it's a (R) district and (D)s are pumping a lot of $$$ into it to flip it). But obviously it ain't over 'till it's over (no counting those chickens)! That special election is also December.

Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ) just got elected governor of NJ and just resigned her seat Nov. 20, and her election won't be until April. And finally MTG leaves Jan. 5, 2026 (and there is a time frame for when that special election will happen).

[Karma13612]

98. Five years as of January 2026

She will be fully vested.
That’s why she’s been sounding more reasonable.
She doesn’t have to worry about her MAGA constituents.
She’s going to leave the House having done lots of bad, but towards the end, she decided to throw us a few bones.
She will have done her 5 years as of January 2026, she is then fully vested for Federal Employee Gub’mint benefits, free healthcare for life, etc.

Even if she is rich, the motivation to get free healthcare in this country is pretty damn powerful. Not to mention the speaking gigs and the gravitas. Gotta hand it to her. She played her cards well.

[Sneederbunk]

109. We need more MAGAts to fall on the sword.

But do as much damage to TSF and the Repugs as possible before you leave.

[red dog 1]

110. AOC on MTG retiring:

BREAKING: AOC on MTG retiring:

"She's carefully timing her departure just 1-2 days after her pension kicks in and after making millions of dollars insider trading stocks for weapons manufacturers and others while in office."

It's all about keeping the TV tuned to the next episode.
