US Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, once a staunch Trump ally, has made a surprising turn in her political career. Recently, she has publicly expressed her intention to resign from Congress, reportedly stating this in private conversations with her allies. This decision comes in the wake of President Donald Trump labeling her a ‘traitor’.
Greene, who was known for her fervent support of Trump, has been increasingly critical of the president in recent months. This shift in allegiance is most notably marked by her actions regarding the release of files related to Jeffrey Epstein, a disgraced financier and sex offender. Her efforts to obtain these files have led to significant public attention and have strained her relationship with Trump. In response to Trump’s accusations, Greene has taken a more assertive stance, warning that the use of inflammatory language can lead to radicalization and personal danger.
Despite the tensions with Trump, Greene remains committed to her advocacy for the release of all remaining unredacted files related to Epstein. She has also criticized Trump’s policies on various issues, including his stance on inflation and US-Israel relations. These actions have led to calls for her to be removed from the Republican party, suggesting a significant rift within the party’s leadership. As she considers her future in politics, the possibility of a presidential run in 2028 adds a new layer of complexity to her political trajectory.
