MP marjorie taylor green claimed the support of President Donald Trump There is a rift among Republican lawmakers and “the dam is breaking.”
in an interview with cnn On Tuesday, the GOP Georgia firebrand gave a blunt assessment Reflecting on Trump’s position within the party, he claimed that he suffered many self-inflicted wounds that could cause significant damage to the Republican Party. mid term,
“I think the dam is breaking,” Greene told White House correspondent Kaitlan Collins. “Many Republicans probably wouldn’t have called him out, but last week, 13 republicans Voted with Democrats to overturn one of President Trump’s executive orders that enabled him to fire federal employees. we also saw Indiana Republican Vote against redistricting.”
He said these are signs that lawmakers are willing to openly defy the president as they prepare for the 2026 midterm elections.
“He has real problems with Republicans in the House and the Senate, who will differ from him on more things in the future,” he said.
In response to Greene’s comments, White House spokesman Davis Ingle said Independent“We have no time for his petty bitterness.”
Ingle said, “President Trump remains the undisputed leader of the greatest and fastest-growing political movement in American history – the MAGA movement. Congresswoman Greene, on the other hand, is abandoning her constituents in the middle of her term and abandoning the resulting fight.”
Upon entering Congress in 2021, Greene immediately carved a path for herself as a staunch Trump ally, frequently voting with the president and repeating his baseless claims that the 2020 election was fraudulent. But his tone changed earlier this year, when he began speaking out against Trump on a number of issues, including health care subsidies, US support for Israel and a discharge petition asking the Justice Department to release its files on Jeffrey Epstein.
The President responded by accusing Greene of being a “…went badAnd termed him a “traitor”. Facing Trump’s anger and the threat of a primary challenger, Greene announced last month that she would retire from congressHis last day in office will be January 5, 2026,
while sitting with him cnnGreene specifically addressed several instances where she claimed Trump has let Republicans — and Americans more broadly — down.
He mentioned his reaction to the death of rob rennerAn acclaimed director and prominent Trump critic who was murdered along with his wife in their Los Angeles home on Sunday.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump claimed that Renner died because of “the anger he unleashed on his huge, unyielding and incurable suffering Suffers from a crippling brain disorder known as Trump Derangement Syndrome.”
The Georgia Republican described Trump’s response as “classless” and “absolutely wrong.” He said that many of the President loyal supporters It felt the same way.
Greene also criticized Trump’s apparent inability to deal with voters’ concerns about the economy.
Earlier this month, the President described the term affordability as a “hoax”, claiming prices were falling and the economy was “A-and-and-and-and-and-and“Ratings. However, many Americans disagree. In a November politico In the survey, 46 percent of respondents said they believe the current cost of living is the worst they can remember.
“I would like to see empathy for Americans from the president,” Greene said.
“Trump is a billionaire and he is the president of the United States,” he said. “When he looks into the camera and says affordability is a hoax and tries to make absolutely nothing out of inflation, he’s talking to Americans who have suffered and suffered for many years and are having a hard time making ends meet, and so that’s not the right message.”
As a result, Greene predicted that Republicans would suffer losses in the 2026 midterm elections, which will determine which party controls Congress.
“I’m one of those people who is willing to admit the truth and say I just don’t see the Republicans winning in the midterms,” she said. He said he thinks it is unlikely that House Speaker Mike Johnson will remain in power.
What can Trump do to avoid midterm defeat? Greene suggested he “focus squarely on America First policies.” He encouraged her to divert her attention from foreign policy issues And prioritize delivering on his campaign promise to help everyday, hard-working Americans.
