Marjorie Taylor Greene Denies Presidential Run Amid Resignation Announcement

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican from Georgia, has stated that she will be resigning from Congress early next year, while firmly rejecting suggestions that she is considering a presidential bid.

“I’m not running for president; I never said I wanted to,” Greene expressed in a statement on Sunday. She explained that she found the idea amusing when it was first mentioned to her. “Running for president means traveling across the country, constantly asking for donations, and raising massive sums of money. It’s exhausting, really—it impacts your health, and let’s be honest, it doesn’t solve any of America’s issues,” she elaborated.

Greene also hinted at the political complexities involved, stating that she isn’t someone who would make the necessary deals to achieve such a position. “Most importantly, I’m not driven by power or titles. The political system has largely failed our country, and I won’t let it trap people like you or me in cycles that don’t lead to real solutions,” she added.

Notably, there have been conflicting reports about her intentions. A publication suggested that sources close to Greene indicated she was thinking about a presidential run in 2028. Greene strongly refuted this, calling the report a fabricated lie, emphasizing the lack of credible sourcing behind it.

The announcement of her resignation followed sharp criticism from former President Donald Trump, who recently targeted her on social media. Since early 2021, Greene has represented her district in the House of Representatives, with her final term scheduled to conclude on January 5, 2026.
