GOP Strategist Says Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Political Future Is ‘Over’ — 2028 Talk Still Circulates

02:55 PM, 11/24/2025

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene will leave Congress in January, and GOP commentator Shermichael Singleton said her political career is effectively over, suggesting a possible media pivot. The split with Donald Trump — who withdrew his endorsement after citing unfavorable polling — factored into the fallout. Greene ranks 12th in current GOP 2028 averages, but Democrats like Rep. Ro Khanna say she could still mount a bid that taps populist energy.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R‑Ga.) announced she will leave Congress in January, prompting debate about whether she could mount a successful statewide or presidential bid in the future. At least one Republican strategist doubts she will go far.

“I’m thinking there’s some other opportunity, perhaps in the media ecosystem, that she’s looking at,” CNN commentator Shermichael Singleton said on State of the Union. “But I think her future life in politics is over.” Singleton — who worked on presidential campaigns for Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney and Ben Carson and later served at the Department of Housing and Urban Development — suggested Greene’s electoral prospects are limited following recent events.

Greene’s decision to leave followed a public rift with former President Donald Trump. Trump withdrew his endorsement after sharing polling he said showed Greene would perform poorly if she challenged Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff or sought to succeed Republican Gov. Brian Kemp in Georgia. Greene denied that the specific conversation Trump described took place and said her choice not to pursue higher office next year was her own.

On the broader 2028 GOP landscape, Greene remains a recognizable figure within the MAGA movement but ranks low in polling: Race to the WH places her 12th in current Republican primary averages. Those averages show Vice President Vance as the dominant front-runner with an average of 44.4% support, followed by Donald Trump Jr. at 15.9%, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis at 7.4% and Secretary of State Marco Rubio at 6.1%.

“It would not surprise me if she runs in 2028,” Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna (Calif.) said, adding that Greene taps into populist currents that helped fuel Donald Trump’s rise. Khanna worked with Greene on releasing Epstein-related files and said her appeal to certain voters should not be underestimated.

Whether Greene pivots to media or attempts another run remains uncertain. For now, prominent voices within both parties disagree: some see her political path as effectively closed, while others believe her brand of populism could find an audience in future contests.
