Marjorie Taylor Greene Considers Presidential Run in 2028, Report Says
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., has privately shared with allies that she is contemplating a presidential bid in 2028, according to a report. The source said it spoke with two individuals who have engaged in discussions with her directly, plus three others familiar with her thoughts.
The report noted that Greene expressed to insiders she wanted to run and believes she has “the national donor network to win the primary.” However, she denied the claims, stating to outlets that she “saw you posted a baseless article.” “Who is your source? Laura Loomer? She claimed I was running for governor last week and announcing it in the view. Once again you publish baseless gossip. Very disappointing. Don’t text me again,” Greene said.
The report emerged a day after Greene, a loyal supporter-turned-critic of President Donald Trump, who faced political retribution if she sought reelection, announced her resignation from Congress in January. In a more than 10-minute video posted online, she explained her decision and stated she didn’t want her congressional district “to have to endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the president we all fought for,” she said.
Greene’s resignation followed a public falling-out with Trump in recent months, as the congresswoman criticized him for his stance on files related to Jeffrey Epstein, along with foreign policy and healthcare. Trump branded her a “traitor” and “wacky” and said he would endorse a challenger against her when she ran for reelection next year. She said her last day would be Jan. 5, 2026.
In a brief phone call Friday night, Trump told ABC News that Greene’s resignation is “great news for the country.” He said he had no plans to speak with Greene but wished her well. Greene was one of the most vocal and visible supporters of Trump’s Make America Great Again politics, and she embraced some of his unapologetic political style. Her break with him was a notable fissure in his grip over conservatives, particularly his most ardent base. But her decision to step down in the face of his opposition put her on the same track as many of the more moderate establishment Republicans before her who went crosswise with Trump.
The congresswoman, who recorded the video announcing her resignation while sitting in her living room wearing a cross necklace and with a Christmas tree and a peace lily behind her, said, “My life is filled with happiness, and my true convictions remain unchanged, because my self-worth is not defined by a man, but instead by God.”
