A MAGA firebrand said on Monday that she will sit out of the 2026 midterm election, which calls into question the GOP’s chances of retaining her seat, according to a new report.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) said on Monday that she will not endorse a candidate to replace her in next year’s midterm, Politico reported on Monday. The news comes days after Greene announced her retirement from Congress, citing ongoing tensions with President Donald Trump.
“Looking ahead towards the Special Election for my Congressional seat, I will not be endorsing anyone out of respect to my district. I truly support the wonderful people of Georgia 14 and want them to pick their Representative,” Greene wrote on X. “So anyone claiming they have my endorsement would not be telling the truth.”
Greene has become one of Trump’s loudest critics in recent months. She has sharply criticized the president’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files and was one of the first lawmakers to support a discharge petition to force the release of the files.
Greene has also criticized the president’s economic policies, which she has claimed are hurting everyday Americans.
Politico reported that Greene stepping down “paves the way” for Trump to nominate a candidate of his choosing to replace her. Greene won her last election by 28 points, according to the report.
