Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene will resign from Congress in January, the Republican firebrand announced on Friday, following her high-profile public falling out with Donald Trump over the Epstein files.
“I have too much self respect and dignity, love my family way too much, and do not want my sweet district to have to endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the President we all fought for, only to fight and win my election while Republicans will likely lose the midterms,” she wrote in a statement.
Her final day in office will be January 5, she added, well before the 2026 midterm elections begin.
The Independent has contacted the White House for comment.
