WASHINGTON — Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, the one-time MAGA stalwart from Georgia who dramatically split with President Donald Trump in recent months, announced Friday evening that she will resign from the House in January.

“I’m going back to the people I love, to live life to the fullest as I always have, and look forward to a new path ahead,” Greene said in a video posted on social media. “I will be resigning from office with my last day being Jan. 5, 2025.”

Greene has represented Georgia’s 14th District in the state’s northwest corner since 2021. For most of her time in the House, she was a conservative firebrand and one of Trump’s fiercest defenders in Congress.

But earlier this year, she publicly broke with the president over the release of files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, as well as over the direction of his “America First” agenda and what she saw as his undue focus on foreign policy.

Trump responded by saying she had “lost her way,” and, last weekend, blasted her on his Truth Social platform as “wacky” and a “disgrace” to the GOP. He also said he was withdrawing his endorsement of her and suggested the right primary challenger would have his “Complete and Unyielding Support.”

In her video Friday, Greene said the entire episode was “absurd and completely unserious.”

“I do not want my sweet district to have to endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the president that we all fought for,” she said.
