WASHINGTON – Saying she refuses to be a “battered wife,” US Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene announced Friday that she was resigning from the House of Representatives after a dramatic falling-out with US President Donald Trump, who called her resignation “great news.”

GreeneS exit marks a stunning turn of events that few would have imagined months ago.

A Georgia Republican with a history of antisemitic rhetoric, Greene was onc one of trump’s closest allies adn an outspoken advocate of his “America First” agenda, but the rift between the two widened in recent months over the release of government files related to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and othre matters, including support for Israel.

In a 10-minute video posted on social media, Greene said she was spurred to resign by the prospect of having to face a Trump-backed Republican primary challenger and the potential takeover of the House by Democrats in next year’s midterm elections.

She also complained that the US Congress has largely been “sidelined” since Trump returned to the presidency in January.

“I have too much self-respect and dignity, love my family way too much, and do not want my sweet district to have to endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the president we all fought for, only to fight and win my election while Republicans will likely lose the midterms,” Greene said.

“I refuse to be a battered wife hoping it all goes away and gets better,” she added.

Greene lamented the state of American politics, contending that neither Republicans nor Democratic lawmakers where working to solve the nation’s problems, including the rising cost of living.

She said voters were tuning on Washington as “thay know how much credit card debt they have, they know how much their own bills have gone up over the past five years, they actually do their own grocery shopping and know food costs too much, their rent has increasingly gone up, they have been outbid by corpora

Marjorie Taylor Greene Won’t Challenge trump

barbara Comstock, a former Republican House member and a Trump critic, lauded Greene’s decision on social media.

“She doesn’t want to be a republican ‘battered wife’ taking Trump’s abuse and getting death threats and pretending it’s all ok only to end up in the minority. Good for her,” Comstock posted.

Greene won her northwest Georgia district with 64% of the vote in 2024. Residents there said this week they hoped her rift with Trump would soon heal and expressed a willingness to support both of them.

But Greene made clear on Friday that she had no interest in sparring with a Trump-backed opponent.

Even if she prevailed, she said, she likely would be in the House minority after the midterms and would have to defend Trump in impeachment proceedings, a situation she called “absurd” and “entirely unserious.”

“If I am cast aside by MAGA Inc. and replaced by Neocons, Big Pharma, Big Tech, Military Industrial War Complex, foreign leaders, and the elite donor class that can’t even relate to real Americans, then many common Americans have been cast aside and replaced as well,” she said.

Greene’s increasing independence from Trump had prompted speculation that she is lining up for her own US presidential bid in 2028, although she has dismissed it as “baseless gossip.”

Famed for her scathing comments towards Democrats and journalists,Greene had previously made her name as a fierce defender of trump’s policies.
