Marjorie Taylor Greene Resigns, Sparking GOP Fury and Political Turmoil
Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has announced that she will resign from Congress, a stunning move that has sent shockwaves through the Republican Party. Greene, a close Trump ally turned political adversary, confirmed that her resignation will take effect on January 5, 2026—setting off immediate unrest within GOP ranks.
The decision caps months of tension following a public and bitter split between Greene and former President Donald Trump. Her departure will leave the GOP with one fewer vote in the House and automatically trigger a special election to fill her seat in Georgia’s 14th congressional district. State law requires the governor to schedule the vote within 30 to 60 days after the vacancy is formally declared.
The announcement drew swift condemnation from conservative activist Laura Loomer. In a series of fiery posts, Loomer accused Greene of sabotaging Trump and undermining Republican momentum ahead of the midterm elections. She claimed Greene’s resignation was timed to damage the former president politically and even speculated that Greene might be planning to join a liberal media network. Loomer went as far as questioning whether financial incentives were behind the congresswoman’s abrupt departure, though she offered no evidence.
Greene’s exit leaves Republicans scrambling to maintain control of a narrow House majority. The upcoming special election now becomes a high-stakes contest with national implications, as both parties prepare to battle for the influential seat.
Her resignation marks one of the most dramatic political departures in recent GOP history, reshaping the internal dynamics of the party and adding fresh uncertainty to an already volatile election cycle.
