MTG Announces Presidential Run?
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., is once again at the center of national political attention. According to a new Time magazine report, Greene has privately discussed the possibility of running for president in 2028, a move that could reshape the conservative landscape and energize Republican voters nationwide.
Sources familiar with the conversations told Time that Greene has openly talked about her interest in a potential presidential campaign. Several individuals who spoke directly with her say she believes she has the political base and fundraising network to compete on the national stage.
Greene Pushes Back on Reports of a 2028 Bid
Earlier this month, News of the United States (NOTUS) claimed Greene had been telling supporters that she possessed “the national donor network to win the GOP primary.”
Greene immediately pushed back, calling the article “baseless gossip” and criticizing the outlet for relying on anonymous sources.
She blasted the report in a text message, writing:
“Once again you publish baseless gossip. Very disappointing. Don’t text me again.”
A Stunning Announcement: Greene Will Resign From Congress
The renewed speculation about a 2028 run comes just as Greene announced she will step down from Congress in January.
The decision marks a major turning point for one of the most outspoken and visible conservatives in Washington.
In a ten-minute video she released online, Greene explained that she didn’t want her community dragged into what she called a “bitter and damaging primary,” fueled by President Donald Trump’s move to back a challenger against her.
Greene’s final day in office will be January 5, 2026.
A Public Break with President Trump
For years, Greene was one of Trump’s fiercest defenders on Capitol Hill. But recent months brought a sharp and public split.
Greene criticized Trump over his handling of documents tied to Jeffrey Epstein, along with his positions on foreign policy and healthcare.
In return, Trump called her a “traitor” and “wacky,” vowing to endorse a challenger against her.
On Friday evening, President Trump told ABC News that Greene stepping down was “very good news for the country,” and said that while he doesn’t plan to reach out to her, he does hope things work out for her.
A Major Shift Inside the Conservative Movement
Greene’s departure marks one of the most notable breaks between President Trump and a once-trusted loyalist.
For many conservatives, it represents a reminder of Trump’s continued influence over the Republican Party—and the political risks of opposing him.
Once a central figure in the MAGA movement, Greene now finds herself on the same path as other Republicans who fell out of favor after challenging Trump’s leadership.
Greene Says Her Faith, Not Politics, Defines Her Future
Greene recorded her resignation message from her living room, wearing a cross necklace with a Christmas tree and peace lily behind her.
She emphasized that her identity comes from her faith—not from political power.
“My life is filled with happiness,” she said. “My convictions remain unchanged, because my self-worth is not defined by a man, but by God.”
Will She Run in 2028?
While Greene continues to deny the current rumors, the timing of her resignation and the interest from grassroots supporters suggests the 2028 conversation is far from over.
With a national profile, a loyal following, and a proven ability to draw media attention, many observers believe Greene may be positioning herself for a future presidential run—whether she acknowledges it now or not.
