Marjorie Taylor Greene resigns early after Trump feud and death threats

Marjorie Taylor Greene, the former Republican representative from Georgia, has stepped down from Congress ahead of schedule. Her resignation, announced in November 2024, follows a public falling-out with Donald Trump and mounting personal threats. The move leaves Republicans with an even slimmer majority in the House as she exits political life entirely.

Greene’s departure came after Trump labelled her a 'traitor' and as she faced escalating death threats targeting both her and her son. She had previously clashed with the former president on multiple fronts, including the Israel-Hamas conflict and the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. Despite her past loyalty, these disagreements marked a clear break between the two.

Her resignation also followed sharp criticism of U.S. foreign policy. Greene condemned military intervention in Venezuela, arguing it served oil interests rather than the Venezuelan people. She questioned why the U.S. was targeting Nicolás Maduro while maintaining softer stances on China and Russia. Instead of Venezuela, she insisted Mexican cartels were the primary source of drug trafficking into America.

When asked about her political future, Greene ruled out a return to Congress—even if Trump requested it. She also dismissed speculation about running for office in 2026, stating her priority was uniting Americans to tackle shared challenges. Though she refused to confirm whether she would leave the GOP, she emphasised her commitment to an 'America First' agenda rather than party loyalty.

Before leaving, Greene criticised both Democrats and Republicans for worsening national debt and failing to secure the southern border. Her exit leaves the GOP with fewer seats and no indication she will re-enter politics.

Greene’s resignation narrows the Republican majority in the House and removes a vocal critic of the party’s direction. She has made it clear she will not seek another political role, focusing instead on issues beyond partisan lines. The fallout with Trump and personal security concerns marked the end of her congressional career.
