U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene shocked Washington when she announced her resignation from Congress, a move that marks the end of one of the most controversial and outspoken tenures in recent political history.
Greene said she will leave office on Jan. 5, 2026, citing personal dignity, frustration with Republican leadership, and a growing feud with former President Donald Trump.

Marjorie Taylor Greene: Resignation Shakes Washington
“I’m going back to the people I love, to live life to the fullest as I always have,” Greene posted on X. “I will be resigning from office… Jan. 5, 2026.”
Greene’s exit comes during an intensifying rift with Trump, who once championed her as a MAGA loyalist. The relationship deteriorated primarily over Greene’s high-profile effort to force the release of Justice Department files on Jeffrey Epstein, a measure Trump strongly opposed.
