Marjorie Taylor Greene rose to national fame in 2020 as one of Donald Trump’s most vocal defenders and most controversial allies. She built her political identity on hard-line “America First” positions, combative rhetoric, and unwavering loyalty to the president. For years, the two were tightly aligned—politically and personally. Which is why her sudden announcement that she will leave Congress before her term ends stunned both Republicans and Democrats. Her decision caps a dramatic public split with Trump that has grown wider throughout the past year.

Here’s how one of Trump’s loudest supporters became one of his sharpest critics—and why she says she’s walking away.

00:00Marjorie Taylor Greene rose to national fame in 2020 as one of Donald Trump's most vocal
00:08defenders and most controversial allies. She built her political identity on hardline America
00:14first positions, combative rhetoric and unwavering loyalty to the president. For years, the two were
00:21tightly aligned, politically and personally, which is why her sudden announcement that she
00:27will leave Congress before her term ends, stunned both Republicans and Democrats.
00:32I'll be resigning from office with my last day being January 5th, 2026. And I look forward
00:39to seeing many of you again sometime in the future. Her decision caps a dramatic public
00:45split with Trump that has grown wider throughout the past year. Here's how one of Trump's loudest
00:51supporters became one of his sharpest critics and why she says she's walking away.
00:57The turning point came when Greene began demanding the release of all federal documents related
01:06to Jeffrey Epstein, the wealthy sex offender with longstanding political ties across parties.
01:13She pushed Republican leaders, including Trump, to back the release.
01:17I want to speak goodness and love and hope into the women standing behind me and all of the
01:26other survivors whose names you don't even know, but stand with these women. They are survivors,
01:36and they are strong and they are courageous, and they are daughters of God. They are not victims.
01:43These women have fought the most horrific fight that no woman should have to fight, and they did
01:49it by banding together and never giving up. And that's what we did by fighting so hard against the
01:59most powerful people in the world, even the president of the United States, in order to make this vote
02:05happen today.
02:05She helped force a House vote, and the measure ultimately passed with near-unanimous support.
02:12But before Trump reversed himself and approved the idea, he lashed out. He publicly mocked her as
02:19Marjorie Traitor Greene and suggested she had changed politically. For Greene, that attack crossed a line.
02:26She said fighting for women who were abused should not result in me being called a traitor by the
02:32president she once defended.
02:33I was called a traitor by a man that I fought for five, no, actually six years for. And I gave him
02:42my loyalty for free. I won my first election without his endorsement beating eight men in a primary. And I've
02:52never owed him anything, but I fought for him for the policies and for America first. And he called me a
02:59traitor for standing with these women and refusing to take my name off the discharge petition. Let me tell
03:06you what a traitor is. A traitor is a is an American that serves foreign countries and themselves. A
03:16patriot is an American that serves the United States of America and Americans like the women standing
03:24behind me. In announcing her early departure, Greene said she didn't want Northwest Georgia, one of the
03:31most pro-Trump districts in America, to suffer through an ugly primary battle. She also predicted
03:37Republicans were likely to lose the midterms and suggested she did not want her own political battles to
03:44distract from that fight. That's information that needs to come out. And will the list of names that these women
03:52privately hold and they hold it because of their fear in their heart of what would happen to them if
04:01they release it on their own? Will that list of names come out? That's the real test. So I want to thank
04:08Thomas Massey and Ro Khanna for your bravery and doing something, doing something that is much needed in
04:15America crossing the political aisle that has become bigger than the Grand Canyon in America. But these
04:23men cross that aisle on behalf of these women. And that is more of what is needed today in America than
04:33ever in our history. While the Epstein fights sparked the public explosion, the rift had been building for
04:43months. Green increasingly criticized Trump from the right. She called the war in Gaza a genocide, while
04:51Trump supported Israeli operations. She blasted Trump's strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. She pushed to
04:58extend expiring healthcare subsidies, citing the burden on working families in her district. She took these
05:05positions not just on right-wing media, but on mainstream platforms like The View. Green wasn't just
05:13disagreeing with Trump behind closed doors. She was doing it loudly and nationally.
05:21Green also began softening her public tone. She disavowed some of her earlier inflammatory
05:26statements, appeared less combative in interviews, and focused more on kitchen table issues like health
05:33costs and housing. Some Republicans called it a political evolution, others a strategy for higher
05:39office. Still, Green insisted, nothing has changed about me. Even Trump asked publicly, what happened to Marjorie?
05:47Earlier today, Marjorie Taylor Greene, who is a big ally of yours, said that she would rather see you
05:52focused on nonstop domestic policy meetings here at the White House instead of nonstop foreign policy
05:57meetings. What's your response to her saying that and also saying that grocery prices are up and not
06:02down, as you've said? Yeah, so I don't know what happened to Marjorie. She's a nice woman, but I don't know what
06:09happened. She's lost her way, I think. But I have to view the presidency as a worldwide situation, not locally.
06:17I mean, we could have a world that's on fire where wars come to our shores.
06:22In Greene's district, some supporters say she still reflects their priorities. Others are shocked and
06:28waiting to see how the fallout unfolds. Georgia political figures say Greene has always been
06:34unpredictable, and her resignation fits that pattern. Marjorie Taylor Greene's departure from Congress marks the
06:41end of one of the most dramatic political partnerships of the Trump era. What began as total loyalty
06:47gradually turned into open conflict, driven by policy disagreements, a fight over the Epstein files, and
06:54escalating personal attacks.
