During a recent appearance on CNN's "The Source," Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) expressed concerns about President Donald Trump's waning influence within the Republican Party.
Greene highlighted a significant shift in party dynamics, suggesting that the President's once-firm hold on the GOP may be loosening.
According to Breitbart, Greene remarked, "I'd like to point something out, Just last week, and I think the dam is breaking, many Republicans may not have called him out, but last week 13 Republicans voted with Democrats to overturn one of President Trumps executive orders, which enabled him to fire federal workers."
This development, she argued, signals a broader trend of Republicans prioritizing their own political survival as they gear up for the 2026 campaign season.
Greene further noted, "We also saw Indiana Republicans vote against redistricting. He didnt call any of them traitors and call for primaries against them, but I would like to say that is a sign where youre seeing Republicans, theyre entering the campaign phase for 2026, which is a large signal that lame duck season has begun and that Republicans will go in all in for themselves in order to save their own reelections."
Host Kaitlan Collins probed further, asking, "You think the dam is breaking in terms of the Presidents iron grip of support when it comes to your party." Greene affirmed, "Absolutely. Those 13 Republicans that voted to take down his executive order last week literally that same evening put on their tuxedos and their evening ball gowns and went to the White House Christmas party. Thats pretty bold."
As the political landscape evolves, the Republican Party faces a critical juncture. With members increasingly willing to diverge from the President's directives, the party's future direction remains a subject of intense scrutiny.
