In a surprising turn of events, Georgia's 14th District Representative, Marjorie Taylor Greene, has announced her resignation from Congress, effective January 5, 2026.
This unexpected development has sparked speculation about her future political ambitions, with rumors suggesting a potential presidential run in 2028. However, Greene has vehemently denied these reports, criticizing the media and the "Political Industrial Class" for spreading misinformation.
According to the Gateway Pundit, Greene's decision to step down was announced in an 11-minute video and a four-page signed resignation letter. Her departure comes in the wake of her persistent demands for the public release of the Jeffrey Epstein client list and files, a move that resulted in her losing the endorsement of President Donald Trump.
The timing of Greene's announcement has raised eyebrows among Capitol Hill reporters, who note that it coincides with her eligibility for a federal pension. However, a report by Time Magazine suggests another possible motive behind her decision. The publication alleges that Greene has privately expressed interest in running for president in 2028, a move that would likely pit her against Vice-President JD Vance.
In a statement, Greene vehemently denied the Time Magazine report, stating, "TIME claims 'sources' told them Im running for President in 2028, which means this is a complete lie and they made it up because they cant even quote the names of the people who they claim said it. Thats not journalism, its called lying."
She further clarified her position, stating, "Im not running for President and never said I wanted to and have only laughed about it when anyone would mention it." Greene also criticized the "Political Industrial Complex" for its alleged role in spreading the rumors, arguing that it would never allow someone like her to address the numerous challenges facing the nation due to her principled stance.
Greene's statement also highlighted a series of crises created by the American government over several decades. She urged Americans to avoid being distracted by the "shiny objects" presented by the "Political Industrial Complex" and to focus on the damage done to the country.
She questioned the public's satisfaction with the country's $38 trillion debt, the impending insolvency of Social Security by 2033, the healthcare crisis created by Obamacare and tax credits, and the high tax burden borne by American citizens. She also expressed concern about the potential for invasion and the government's role in facilitating job loss through the issuance of legal visas.
Greene concluded her statement by warning that if Americans continue to be distracted by the "shiny objects" presented by the "Political Industrial Complex" and fail to recognize the damage done to the country, they will never unite to save themselves.
Despite the controversy surrounding her resignation and the speculation about her future political ambitions, Greene remains steadfast in her denial of a presidential run. Her focus, as expressed in her statement, is on the pressing issues facing the nation and the need for Americans to recognize and address these challenges.
