President Trump has announced that he will no longer support Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, citing her "Far Left" stance and what he described as excessive complaining. The decision marks a significant break between the two, who had previously been closely aligned.
In a lengthy post on his Truth Social platform, Trump stated that Greene has become increasingly critical of him and the party leadership, including his own actions. He claimed she is upset about not receiving regular phone calls from him but argued he has more pressing matters to attend to, citing 219 Congressmen/women, 53 U.S. Senators, 24 Cabinet Members, and numerous countries with which he has diplomatic relations.
Trump announced that he will withdraw his endorsement of Greene, suggesting that she may face a primary challenge against her in the deep-red northern Georgia district if a suitable opponent emerges. In response to this development, Greene claimed that Trump had "attacked" her and "lied" about her, vowing to continue praying for the administration's respect.
Greene has been at odds with Republican leaders over issues like rising healthcare premiums and cost of living, drawing rare praise from Democrats who have highlighted these concerns in their own policy proposals. She has also clashed with Trump himself on several occasions, including over releasing Justice Department records related to Jeffrey Epstein, an issue the president had urged Republicans to drop.
In a recent interview with "CBS Mornings," Greene argued that Trump's opposition to releasing the files was a "huge miscalculation" and accused him of trying to "make an example" out of her. She also claimed Trump has lost his way by spending too much time on foreign policy, which led Trump himself to label her response as "lost."
