Trump lawyer Alina Habba passed on the opportunity to serve as President-elect Donald Trump’s White House Press Secretary, days after she emerged as a front-runner for the job.
Reports emerged earlier this week that Trump’s senior advisor and attorney was the favorite for the position, according to four sources. Habba traveled to Mar-a-Lago on Tuesday for discussions about a role, before announcing Thursday morning that she would not serve as press secretary.
“While I am flattered by the support and speculation, the role of Press Secretary is not a role I am considering,” Habba wrote. “Although I love screaming from a podium I will be better served in other capacities. This administration is going to be epic! So proud of the Trump team, the latest appointments and 47!”
While I am flattered by the support and speculation, the role of Press Secretary is not a role I am considering. Although I love screaming from a podium I will be better served in other capacities.
This adminstration is going to be epic! So proud of the Trump team, the latest…
A source said the Trump team lobbied Habba to take the job but she turned it down for reasons related to her family — Habba has three children and is based in New Jersey — and her law practice.
Sean Hannity pressed Habba on his Fox News show on Tuesday over whether she would take on the position. Habba said, “I am very loyal to President Trump. I would think about it very seriously.”
I hear Alina Habba is being considered for White House Press Secretary. STOP all considerations and give it to her immediately.
Swisher and Galloway were discussing the decline of television in the wake of Kimmel’s suspension from ABC when the conversation turned to podcasters.
“I think, look, we got to just burn those ships and move on. That’s the thing, because this is how Trump lives. He lives in the 80s in his head, so CBS, ABC, and NBC are the be-all and end-all,” Swisher argued.
“But they’re not. They’re not influential anymore. We should just move along and make our stuff. We should grow and conservative outlets should grow, whatever it happens to be. I was, although I think Tucker Carlson’s really– something’s going on with him. When he’s articulated, it was absolutely right,” Swisher added.
“We both have our issues with Tucker. I think Tucker right now is the most likely nominee for the Republican nomination. I think he has been very good lately,” Galloway replied — referring to Carlson’s warning against any kind of free speech crackdown following Kirk’s murder.
“Well, he’s consistent at least,” Swisher agreed.
“About housing, for young people, he comes across as intellectually honest. He comes across as courageous, not afraid to go against his own party. And I realize I’m talking our own book here,” Galloway continued, adding:
Our downloads are up 10 percent in the last 30 days. And guess what? Everyone from Megyn Kelly to Joe Rogan, you’re going to see a lot, increasingly people turn to podcasts like The Daily, because The New York Times is fearless and does the work.
You’re just going to see media that is not scared of Brendan Carr, or can’t be controlled by Brendan Carr. Boom, because people are really interested in what’s going on, and they like fearless. You know, I’ll give you an example, Don Lemon.
Rep. Haley Stevens shocked Democrats by backing Republican Mike Rogers in Michigan’s Senate race. Now her chief of staff has quit, party leaders are furious, and President Donald Trump is praising her decision.
A stunning political defection in Michigan has erupted into a full-blown Democratic Party feud, with Rep. Haley Stevens’ chief of staff and multiple aides resigning after the congresswoman endorsed a Republican Senate candidate backed by President Donald Trump.
Stevens, a Michigan Democrat who narrowly lost her party’s Senate primary to Abdul El-Sayed in August, stunned political observers Sunday when she announced she was supporting Republican Mike Rogers just 48 hours before Election Day.
The unexpected endorsement triggered immediate backlash from Democratic leaders, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Sen. Bernie Sanders.

A stunning political defection in Michigan has erupted into a full-blown Democratic Party feud, with Rep. Haley Stevens’ chief of staff and multiple aides resigning after the congresswoman endorsed a Republican Senate candidate backed by President Donald Trump.
Stevens, a Michigan Democrat who narrowly lost her party’s Senate primary to Abdul El-Sayed in August, stunned political observers Sunday when she announced she was supporting Republican Mike Rogers just 48 hours before Election Day.
The unexpected endorsement triggered immediate backlash from Democratic leaders, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Sen. Bernie Sanders.
But the fallout didn’t stop there.
Stevens’ longtime chief of staff, Justin German, announced that he and several other members of her congressional team were resigning in protest, creating a staffing crisis just as the congresswoman approaches the end of her term.
“We are shocked and heartbroken,” German said in a statement.
The extraordinary developments have turned Michigan’s closely watched Senate race into a bitter public confrontation within the Democratic Party, with Trump himself celebrating Stevens’ decision.
Stevens’ Top Aide Quits After Eight Years
German, who served as Stevens’ chief of staff for eight years, announced the resignations Sunday in a statement circulated on social media.
Speaking on behalf of departing staff members, German declared his support for El-Sayed, the Democratic nominee whom Stevens had just rejected.
“As of this morning, many members of our team have resigned, including myself,” German said.
The statement described the staff’s disappointment with Stevens’ decision to endorse Rogers, a former Republican congressman and Trump-backed candidate.
The resignations underscore how dramatically Stevens’ political relationships have deteriorated since her endorsement.
The congresswoman had previously pledged to support El-Sayed after losing the Democratic primary and reaffirmed that position only days before switching sides.
But after a dispute over a planned campaign appearance, Stevens abruptly changed course.
Her decision has now cost her the support of senior aides who had worked alongside her for years.
Trump Praises Democrat for Breaking Ranks
President Trump wasted little time responding to the unexpected endorsement.
In a Truth Social post Sunday, Trump praised Stevens as a respected Democrat who had demonstrated unusual political courage by backing Rogers.
“Haley said what few people are willing to say,” Trump wrote.
The president described her decision as an act of loyalty to Michigan voters rather than to party leadership.
“It’s a thing called bravery,” Trump added.
The endorsement provides Rogers with a notable crossover supporter during the final days of his campaign against El-Sayed.
Rogers, who previously served in Congress and chaired the House Intelligence Committee, is competing for the seat being vacated by retiring Democratic Sen. Gary Peters.
After appearing with Stevens at Detroit’s Perfecting Church on Sunday, Rogers told reporters he was honored to have her support.
The Republican candidate also emphasized that Stevens had not abandoned her Democratic identity.
The unusual alliance gives Trump and congressional Republicans a new talking point as they campaign in the final hours before Tuesday’s elections.
Sanders Slams Stevens as Democrats Turn on One Another
The backlash has extended far beyond Stevens’ congressional office.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who supports El-Sayed, publicly defended the departing staff members and sharply criticized the congresswoman.
“Rep. Haley Stevens’ staff is right to resign in disgust,” Sanders wrote on X.
He accused Stevens of putting her “fragile ego” ahead of the Michigan Senate contest and urged Democrats to unite behind El-Sayed.
Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, who had supported Stevens during the primary, also condemned her endorsement.
“This is a despicable betrayal from Rep. Stevens,” Schumer wrote.
This is a despicable betrayal from Rep. Stevens.
Senate Democrats are united in our support for Abdul El-Sayed, because we know he will fight for the economic interests of working families in Michigan, unlike Mike Rogers, who is a tool of Donald Trump and billionaire donors.
Michigan Democratic Party Chairman Curtis Hertel went even further, declaring that Stevens would no longer have a place in the state party.
“Congresswoman Stevens is not a current member of the Michigan Democratic Party, nor will she be in the future,” Hertel wrote.
The unusually public rebukes illustrate how a last-minute endorsement has reopened divisions between progressive and moderate Democrats at a critical point in the election.
Republican Congresswoman Offers Stevens a Lifeline
While Democrats criticized Stevens, at least one Republican lawmaker offered to help keep her congressional office functioning.
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) said her office would assist Stevens with constituent services and other responsibilities during the remainder of the 119th Congress.
“My office will happily assist @RepHaleyStevens with anything she needs,” Luna wrote on X.
My office will happily assist @RepHaleyStevens with anything she needs, including constituent services, during her remaining time in the 119th Congress.
She has done more for this country than the majority of my colleagues on both sides of the aisle by taking a stand and putting…
Luna praised Stevens for taking a position that crossed party lines, calling it an example of putting country ahead of party.
The offer came as questions mounted about how Stevens’ office would continue operating following the departure of senior staff.
Stevens has not announced that she is switching political parties, and she has emphasized that her endorsement of Rogers is limited to this particular election.
“I’m not turning my back on Democrats. It is this one vote,” Stevens told reporters Sunday.
Bitter Primary Feud Explodes Before Election Day
The endorsement followed months of hostility between Stevens and El-Sayed, who defeated her by less than one percentage point in Michigan’s August Democratic Senate primary.
Their disagreements centered partly on U.S. policy toward Israel and the war in Gaza.
Stevens, a strong supporter of Israel, repeatedly challenged El-Sayed over his criticism of the Israeli government and his association with progressive political commentator Hasan Piker.
The conflict intensified last week after Stevens’ fiancé, Jason Turkish, publicly announced that he would vote for Rogers.
Stevens subsequently demanded that El-Sayed condemn an advertisement produced by an independent political group linking U.S. support for Israel to rising grocery prices.
El-Sayed said the advertisement was not produced by his campaign and rejected its contents.
The two Democrats were originally scheduled to attend a church service together Sunday in what party leaders hoped would be a public display of unity.
Instead, Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-Mich.) asked Stevens not to attend, explaining that the dispute had become too distracting.
Hours later, Stevens appeared alongside Rogers at a different Detroit church and announced her endorsement.
The dramatic reversal reportedly surprised even members of Rogers’ campaign.
El-Sayed Brushes Off Endorsement as Election Nears
Despite the turmoil, El-Sayed has attempted to keep attention on his campaign’s economic message.
Asked about Stevens’ decision Sunday, the Democratic nominee dismissed its importance.
“At the end of the day I actually don’t think about Haley Stevens,” El-Sayed told reporters.
He said he was focused instead on the concerns of Michigan voters, particularly the cost of living.
The contest between El-Sayed and Rogers will determine who succeeds retiring Democratic Sen. Gary Peters.
Michigan is among the states receiving intense national attention as Republicans and Democrats battle for control of the Senate.
The last-minute endorsement has also exposed deeper disagreements within the Democratic coalition over Israel, progressive politics and the party’s direction.
For Trump and Rogers, Stevens’ decision represents an unexpected endorsement from across the aisle.
For Democrats, it has triggered resignations, public condemnations and a dispute that has overshadowed part of their final campaign push.
With Election Day arriving Tuesday, Stevens’ decision has transformed a closely watched Senate contest into one of the most unusual political stories of the midterm campaign.
But the fallout didn’t stop there.
Stevens’ longtime chief of staff, Justin German, announced that he and several other members of her congressional team were resigning in protest, creating a staffing crisis just as the congresswoman approaches the end of her term.
“We are shocked and heartbroken,” German said in a statement.
The extraordinary developments have turned Michigan’s closely watched Senate race into a bitter public confrontation within the Democratic Party, with Trump himself celebrating Stevens’ decision.
Top Democrats in Pennsylvania are already maneuvering to challenge Sen. John Fetterman in a 2028 primary — a political civil war brewing in one of the most important battleground states in America.
Why It Matters
Fetterman was once the Democrats’ golden boy after flipping a Republican Senate seat in 2022. But now, even as voters in Pennsylvania continue to view him relatively favorably, many in his own party are turning on him for showing a softer tone toward President Donald Trump and rejecting the far-left orthodoxy of Washington Democrats.
The result: A full-blown Democratic power struggle years before the next Senate race.
The Democrats Lining Up Against Fetterman
Party insiders say several prominent Pennsylvania Democrats are preparing possible primary challenges or leaving the door open if Fetterman decides to retire:
1️⃣ Rep. Brendan Boyle — a Philadelphia liberal and loud Fetterman critic — has called him “Trump’s favorite Democrat” and accused him of visiting Trump at Mar-a-Lago to “kiss the ring.”
2️⃣ Rep. Chris Deluzio, a freshman from western Pennsylvania, is trying to craft a populist brand in the Rust Belt, holding rallies with Sen. Bernie Sanders and courting national progressive support.
3️⃣ Former Rep. Conor Lamb, who Fetterman defeated in the 2022 Democratic primary, has resurfaced with praise from left-wing figures like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) for repeatedly taking swipes at Fetterman.
When Axios reached out, Fetterman dismissed the story as “clickbait” and pointed to his actual voting record, showing he has sided with Trump just 6% of the time — less than Boyle, who aligned with the president nearly 14% of the time. “Actual numbers. Less clicks,” Fetterman said.
Behind the Scenes
Sources close to the senator say Fetterman has long harbored presidential ambitions, though he’s offered no clarity about whether he’ll seek reelection or run for higher office in 2028. Former aides suggest he’s grown weary of Washington’s political games and may not want to stay in the Senate.
Polls show his support slipping among Democrats — a recent Quinnipiac survey found a majority of Democratic voters in Pennsylvania disapprove of how he’s handling his job. That’s fueling speculation he might bow out or even consider switching parties (a rumor he’s repeatedly denied).
Democrats’ Infighting Spills Into Public
The feud is already turning nasty. Boyle has accused Fetterman of harming Democrats’ image by publicly criticizing the party. Deluzio shot back, saying he prefers working with the senior senator rather than “taking opportunistic shots” — a not-so-subtle dig at Boyle.
Lamb, meanwhile, stayed mum, saying he was “in the middle of a trial” but didn’t deny future political ambitions.
A Philadelphia-based strategist summed it up bluntly: “There’s a possibility of an opening in 2028, certainly, given the trajectory he’s on with Democrats.”
How GOP Could Benefit
For Republicans, the Democrats’ internal brawl is a gift. A drawn-out, bitter 2028 primary would drain resources, fracture the Democratic base, and push the party further left — all while Republicans focus on uniting around a single candidate. If Fetterman continues alienating the progressive wing and fighting off challengers, Pennsylvania Democrats could head into both the 2026 midterms and 2028 election cycle divided and demoralized.
Fetterman’s high-profile feuds also give the GOP fresh opportunities to court working-class voters in western Pennsylvania who once backed Trump — the same blue-collar bloc that helped Fetterman win in 2022 but now may be up for grabs.
The Bottom Line
Democrats’ biggest success story of 2022 has become a lightning rod within his own party. As Boyle, Deluzio, and Lamb sharpen their knives, Republicans are watching closely — and smiling — at the spectacle of Democrats turning on one of their own.

Former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) openly floated the idea of running for Sen. Marco Rubio’s (R-Fla.) Senate seat on Sunday.
“Many have asked which perch I will be fighting from next, and some of you throughout this conference have even given me a few suggestions,” Gaetz said at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest. “My fellow Floridians have asked me to eye the governor’s mansion in Tallahassee, maybe special counsel to go after the insider trading for my former colleagues in Congress.”
“It seems I may not have had enough support in the United States Senate. Maybe I’ll just run for Marco Rubio’s vacant seat in the United States Senate and join some of those folks,” Gaetz continued, nodding to the fact that he struggled to win enough support among senators to be President-elect Trump’s attorney general.
Rubio is leaving his Senate seat after being tapped by Trump to be his secretary of State. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) will appoint Rubio’s replacement. Though it was not clear if Gaetz was seriously considering running for Senate, his remarks drew applause from the crowd.
Gaetz immediately resigned from Congress when he was tapped to be Trump’s attorney general. He later dropped his bid amid concerns that he didn’t have enough support in the Senate for his confirmation.
Gaetz had sued to stop the House Ethics Committee from releasing its report, with a lawsuit slamming the report, saying it included “untruthful and defamatory information.”
The Ethics Committee released the report on Monday:
Lara Trump, President-elect Trump’s daughter in law and former Republican National Committee (RNC) co-chair, removed her name from consideration to replace Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.).
“After an incredible amount of thought, contemplation, and encouragement from so many, I have decided to remove my name from consideration for the United States Senate,” Trump wrote in a Saturday post on the social platform X.
“I could not have been more honored to serve as RNC co-chair during the most high-stakes election of our lifetime and I’m truly humbled by the unbelievable support shown to me by the people of our country, and here in the great state of Florida,” she later added.
Who will Trump tap to serve in his administration?
Susie Wiles, a veteran political operative who worked closely with President-elect Trump during his campaign, is making history as the first female Chief of Staff.
Sources within Trump’s transition team and others close to the former president’s campaign confirmed to Fox News that Wiles was reportedly the frontrunner for White House chief of staff – the person who oversees the Executive Office of the President before Trump made the announcement on Thursday.
Trump, during his victory celebration in West Palm Beach late Tuesday night, gave special thanks to Wiles for her prominent role throughout the campaign.
“Let me also express my tremendous appreciation for Susie [Wiles] and Chris [LaCivita], the job you did. Susie, come, Susie,” Trump said, inviting her up to the microphone, but Wiles refrained from making comments.
“Susie likes to stay sort of in the back, let me tell you. The ice baby. We call her the ice baby. Susie likes to stay in the background. She’s not in the background,” Trump added. “Thank you, Susie.”
NBC News also reported that Wiles is seen as the frontrunner to become Trump’s chief of staff. Two sources in Trump’s political orbit didn’t wave Fox News off the reporting.
Wiles currently serves as a senior adviser to Trump and his campaign co-chair alongside Chris LaCivita.
Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy was previously floated as a possible contender for chief of staff, but recently told “The Guy Benson Show” that he would not take the position if it was offered.
“People always ask if I’m going to be chief of staff, no I’m not going to be… that’s a no,” he said.

Former New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu (R) said he is considering running for Senate after previously rejecting the possibility.
“I have not ruled it out completely, but folks in Washington have asked me to think about it and to consider it, and that is just kind of where I am,” Sununu said Tuesday about a possible Senate run, according to The Washington Times.
Democrat Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire announced Wednesday she will not seek reelection to the United States Senate next year, concluding a historic political career that includes being the first woman elected as both a governor and U.S. senator in the United States. Shaheen, who turned 78 in January, has been a significant figure in New Hampshire politics for decades, serving three terms as governor before her election to the Senate in 2008.
Sununu has previously said he is not interested in representing his state in Washington.
“I would rule myself completely out of a U.S. Senate race, to be sure,” Sununu said last year, according to a local news outlet.
“Politically, we’ll see what happens down the road. But in terms of Senate or Congress, nothing I have any interest in whatsoever,” he added.
The Washington Times reported, however, that Sununu is now saying that Trump’s focus on making government more accountable and efficient has prompted him to reconsider.
“That makes me think, OK, maybe things are changing,” he said, according to The Washington Times. “Maybe there’s a path here.”

President Donald Trump is going all in for South Carolina’s Republican Senate nominee. The congressman she defeated is sitting this one out—and making sure everyone knows why.
Rep. Ralph Norman told Fox News Digital on Tuesday that he will not campaign for Sen. Darline Graham, accusing Trump and powerful interests of trying to impose their preferred candidate on voters.
The public blowup comes one week before Election Day, with Graham facing Democrat Annie Andrews in a race that has become more competitive than Republicans anticipated.
A Primary Fight That Never Ended
Graham defeated Norman in the August Republican runoff after receiving Trump’s endorsement. But the nomination battle has left a lasting split.
In a text message to Fox, Norman accused special interests and the president of spending millions to promote misleading claims about Graham’s qualifications. He argued that South Carolinians should not have to accept a nominee simply because party leaders demand it.
“Elections have consequences,” Norman told the outlet.
According to Fox, Graham’s campaign manager approached Norman’s chief of staff about having the congressman campaign alongside her. Norman declined—and said another request would not change his answer.
There is a distinction between his campaign boycott and his ballot: Fox reported that Norman previously said he would vote for Graham, even though members of his family would not.
Another Blow From Across the Aisle
Andrews, a pediatrician, has also picked up support from two former South Carolina governors who once represented opposing parties.
Republican David Beasley and Democrat Jim Hodges appeared together in an endorsement video released by Andrews’ campaign Monday, WIS reported. Their joint appearance gives Andrews prominent validators outside the usual Democratic campaign lineup.
Norman’s son, Warren, has separately written that he is leaning toward Andrews, according to Fox’s account of his FITSNews opinion piece.
Trump Doubles Down
Republican leaders are pressing ahead with their case for Graham, who was appointed to the Senate following the death of her brother, Lindsey Graham.
Fox reported that the Senate Leadership Fund, a political action committee aligned with Senate Majority Leader John Thune, pledged $5 million in advertising for the South Carolina contest.
Trump has also campaigned for Graham, while the Republican National Committee argues that defeating Andrews will unite the party.
But the race has tightened enough for the Cook Political Report to move it from “Likely Republican” to “Lean Republican,” according to Fox. That leaves Graham favored, with less breathing room.
Trump helped her win the nomination. With the general election approaching, Norman is making clear that delivering the seat will be someone else’s job.
The chair of the English Department at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire has been placed on administrative leave after allegedly flipping the College Republicans’ table on campus Tuesday morning.
UW-Eau Claire Interim Provost Michael Carney confirmed the incident with Fox News.
SPREAD THE WORD!!!
We are DEMANDING the termination of Jose Felipe Alvergue from UWEC after he ATTACKED the UWEC Republicans’ peaceful assembly this morning. The ‘tolerant’ left needs to be stopped. Sick of this bullshit happening. pic.twitter.com/XAvjr53tqV
Violent outburst today in Eau Claire WI by Jose Felipe Alvergue, an unhinged liberal whose wife is up for reelection. He needs to be FIRED. pic.twitter.com/QSCV3zgETr
“I am deeply concerned that our students’ peaceful effort to share information on campus on election day was disrupted,” Carney said in a statement. “UW-Eau Claire strongly supports every person’s right to free speech and free expression, and the university remains committed to ensuring that campus is a place where a wide variety of opinions and beliefs can be shared and celebrated.”
He added that “civil dialogue is a critical part of the university experience, and peaceful engagement is fundamental to learning itself.”
“We are working with the Universities of Wisconsin and the Office of General Counsel, which is conducting a comprehensive investigation of this matter. The faculty member involved has been placed on administrative leave pending that investigation,” Carney said.
The UW-Eau Claire College Republicans identified the faculty member on Instagram as English Department Chair José Felipe Alvergue.
Tatiana Bobrowicz, UW-Eau Claire College Republicans chair, said in a video posted to the chapter’s Instagram page that she had just finished setting up a table on Election Day.
Jose Felipe Alvergue has now been confirmed by the university to be the attacker from this morning. pic.twitter.com/X1F2OtEoni
“A professor came up and flipped our table in a violent attack towards us. This is unacceptable,” Bobrowicz said in a statement posted to the UW-Eau Claire College Republicans Instagram account on Tuesday. “The university has since confirmed that this attacker was the chair of the university’s English Department. Once again, this type of violent attack will not be tolerated.”
UW director of media relations Mark Pitsch told Fox News in a statement that university staff “appreciate that UW-Eau Claire has taken swift action, and we will be working with them to conduct the investigation.”

Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) is taking her political break with the Republican Party a step further, revealing she is actively discussing the creation of a new political movement that she says would challenge both Republicans and Democrats.
Speaking Tuesday on Piers Morgan Uncensored, Greene said conversations about launching a third party are already underway, though she acknowledged the obstacles are significant.
“I think there’s a group of us that if we decide to align, we could launch a true America-focused party that doesn’t fall into the traps of Democrats or Republicans, but could align some serious players from the right and the left,” Greene told Morgan.
Greene added that the effort would be a long-term project rather than an immediate electoral play.
“It’s difficult to launch a third party, so the reality is this isn’t something that gets off the ground in just a couple of campaign cycles,” she said. “This is a movement that has to be developed and would take time to develop.”
The comments come just days after Greene publicly declared she was finished supporting what she called the “America LAST Republican Party,” aligning herself with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who recently announced he would no longer support GOP candidates after decades as one of the party’s most influential media voices. (RELATED:Tucker Carlson and MTG Turn on GOP in Stunning MAGA Revolt)
Greene argued that Carlson’s split reflects a broader frustration among conservatives who believe the Republican Party has abandoned its voters.
Morgan also pressed Greene on growing speculation that Carlson could mount a 2028 presidential campaign.
Rather than dismiss the idea, Greene suggested he would be a formidable force if he chose to run.
“I haven’t had that direct conversation with Tucker. I know a lot of people are speculating that, and I can tell you right now, Tucker Carlson would be a great threat to both parties because there’s many Americans that are very independent that would support him, but there’s also Republican voters and Democrat voters that would support him,” Greene said. “So I would say he’s a very credible threat.”
The remarks mark another escalation in Greene’s increasingly public feud with President Donald Trump.
Once one of Trump’s fiercest allies on Capitol Hill, Greene broke with the administration over several issues, including U.S. military operations against Iran and other policy disputes. The rift intensified after Trump publicly criticized Greene and withdrew his political support, prompting her decision to leave Congress earlier this year.
