The fallout continues…

Marjorie Taylor Greene’s recent announcement revealing her upcoming departure from Congress has sent shockwaves through the political sphere, triggering reactions from the Left and the Right.

Greene said Friday she will leave Congress in January, citing her falling-out with President Trump. Earlier this month, the president withdrew his endorsement of Greene amid a disagreement over the Jeffrey Epstein files. 

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) said Sunday she was surprised by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) announcing her resignation over the weekend.

“Honestly, I was like, ‘You’ve got to be kidding me,’” Crockett told host Jake Tapper on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “You’re on the other side of the president for one week, and you can’t take the heat.”

On Sunday, the Texas Democrat accused Greene of being an “instigator” of hateful rhetoric during her time in Congress. 

“It’s just interesting that I don’t know if she really fully understood how bad she was making it for other people,” Crockett added. 

Last Sunday, Greene acknowledged that she has taken part in the “toxic politics” that have “plagued” the country. 

“I am committed, I’ve been working on this a lot lately, to put down the knives in politics. I really just want to see people be kind to one another,” she told host Dana Bash on “State of the Union.”

In his Truth Social post revoking his endorsement of the Georgia congresswoman, Trump said the rift began when he showed Greene polling data indicating she would have low support if she were to challenge Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff (Ga.) or run to succeed Republican Gov. Brian Kemp in the Peach State in 2026. 

Last Sunday, Greene denied on CNN that such a conversation with the president took place, saying her decision not to run for higher office next year was hers alone. 

Watch:

Prior to her announcement, the Georgia Congresswoman was reportedly considering a run for president in 2028 — a move that, if realized, could reshape the Republican Party’s post-Trump era and test the staying power of the “America First” movement.

According to a new report from Notus, Greene privately expressed interest in following in Donald Trump’s footsteps to the White House. The outlet cited four sources familiar with her thinking, saying Greene believes she represents the “real MAGA” faction — the core conservative movement that has reshaped the GOP since 2016 — and that many Republican leaders have drifted away from those grassroots values.

One source told Notus that Greene feels confident she has built the national donor network and grassroots support needed to mount a serious primary campaign, especially as the GOP’s base remains loyal to Trump’s populist agenda.

However, it’s becoming increasingly clear Greene’s political capital is shrinking by the day — while a notable figure in Trump’s Make America Great Again movement — now comes in 12th in polling averages for the GOP presidential primary, according to Race to the WH. 

Republican strategist Shermichael Singleton predicted that Greene’s political ambitions have been indefinitely put on hold as a result of her feud with President Trump and looming exit from Congress.

“I’m thinking there’s some other opportunity, perhaps in the media ecosystem, that she’s looking at,” CNN political commentator Shermichael Singleton said Sunday on “State of the Union.” “But I think her future life in politics in over.”
