The Georgian congresswoman, 51, claimed in her video statement that she had “always represented the common American man and woman as a member of the House of Representatives, which is why I’ve always been despised in Washington, DC, and never fit in.”
She stated, “My last day is January 5, 2026, and I’ll be resigning from office.”
Greene reaffirmed that she did not want her supporters and family to go through “the President we all fought for’s hurtful and hateful primary.”
President Trump responded to the news by saying, “I think it’s great news for the country.”
Trump reportedly said in an interview, “It’s great,” according to ABC News.

Greene, a former leader of Trump’s Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement, had a very public disagreement with the president after he announced earlier this month that he would withdraw all support for the congresswoman he referred to as “Wacky Marjorie.”
Greene has cited as a reason why she disagrees with Trump her outspoken support for the release of Jeffrey Epstein’s government records.
Trump had criticized the Epstein controversy as a “Democrat hoax” and has struggled with unrest in his MAGA base as a result of his U-turn on his pre-election promise to release the case’s government files.
Trump signed a bill this week to release the Epstein files, but it came under increasing pressure from Democrats and members of his own party. Its motion passed in the House and Senate with unanimous support.
Greene mentioned the Epstein controversy in her resignation statement.
The president of the United States, for whom I fought, should not condemn me for standing up for American women who were raped at the age of 14 and used by wealthy, powerful men, Greene said.
Greene also became the first Republican lawmaker to refer to Israel’s attack on Gaza as a genocide this year.
Trump’s continued criticism of Greene as a “lightweight” and even a “traitor” to the Republican Party comes after his earlier withdrawal earlier this month from his Truth Social platform.
Following that, Greene claimed that a string of threats were threatening her.
In light of Trump’s warm White House meeting with New York’s leftist Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani earlier on Friday, Greene’s decision to step down from Congress before the 2026 midterms is the clearest sign yet of a growing split in the MAGA community.
