Marjorie Taylor Greene Denies 2028 Presidential Bid After Announcing Resignation

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene denied on X that she plans to run for president, rejecting reports that she had considered a 2028 bid. She announced she will resign from Congress in January, citing frustration with GOP leadership after a recent loss of support from Donald Trump. Greene argued a presidential campaign would require relentless fundraising and travel while offering little chance to enact real reform. Her break with party leaders has fueled speculation about her political future, which she now disputes.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia on Sunday denied reports that she is considering a run for president, days after announcing she will resign from Congress in January amid a public split with former President Donald Trump.

In a post on X, Greene wrote, "I'm not running for President and never said I wanted to and have only laughed about it when anyone would mention it." She was responding to recent reports suggesting she had at least considered a 2028 bid.

"Running for President requires traveling all over the country, begging for donations all day everyday to raise hundreds of millions of dollars, arguing political talking points everyday to the point of exhaustion, destroying your health and having no personal life in order to attempt to get enough votes to become President all to go to work into a system that refuses to fix any of America's problems," Greene wrote. "The fact that I'd have to go through all that but would be totally blocked from truly fixing anything is exactly why I would never do it."

Greene added that she is "not motivated by power and titles," and accused what she described as the "Political Industrial Complex" of preventing outsiders from rising to power and solving the nation's problems.

Background

Greene announced on Friday that she plans to resign from Congress in January, citing frustration with GOP leaders after Mr. Trump withdrew his support roughly a week earlier. First elected to the House in 2021, she has built a national profile as a combative conservative voice. Her abrupt split with party leaders and Trump prompted speculation that she might be positioning herself for higher office — a narrative she has now denied.

In recent months Greene criticized Republican congressional leadership on issues including health care, affordability and the government shutdown. She has also pressed for the release of the Epstein files even as other members of her party faced pressure to compromise.

While Greene dismissed the prospect of a presidential campaign as exhausting and unlikely to produce meaningful reform, her resignation and public break with Trump have intensified attention on her next steps and on broader tensions within the GOP.
