Marjorie Taylor Greene’s unexpected resignation has prompted widespread interest in her future plans.

The Republican from Georgia announced the conclusion of her Congressional tenure through a candid 10-minute social media video on Friday, where she expressed her dissatisfaction with Congress, her political party, and former President Donald Trump.

At 51, Greene, who also owns a small business, strategically timed her departure to follow the vesting of her federal pension just two days prior, leaving many to wonder about her next steps.

Ro Khanna, a prominent figure among far-left Democrats, suggested that Greene’s political journey might not be over, hinting at a potential presidential run in 2028.

“Marjorie Taylor Greene could be a strong contender in the 2028 election,” Khanna stated in an interview with NBC News. “Her views on Epstein, AI regulation, and anti-war policies resonate more with MAGA supporters than those of JD Vance.”

Both Greene and Khanna had previously collaborated on a bill pushing for the release of Epstein-related documents, which successfully passed in both chambers of Congress.

Right now, no Republican has declared for 2028 and Trump, despite much speculation, has said he can’t run for a third term. 

While many pro-MAGA conservatives would support her, Greene would likely face a challenge from Vice President Vance, who would be likely to get the president’s endorsement if he ran.

Following her shock resignation, Marjorie Taylor Greene already faces speculation of what she will do next

With Trump’s term limited, there could be a similarly large group of Republicans set to run in 2028 as there was in 2024, when many thought January 6 made Trump a political exile.  

Greene could also theoretically launch a run at the Senate, as Democrat Jon Ossoff’s seat is up for re-election in 2026.

However, that possibility was one of the factors that led to the dissolution of her relationship with Trump in his brutal Truth Social post last week. 

He wrote: ‘It seemed to all begin when I sent her a Poll stating that she should not run for Senator, or Governor, she was at 12%, and didn’t have a chance (unless, of course, she had my Endorsement — which she wasn’t about to get!).’

In addition to that, Greene said in her farewell statement that she felt the Republican Party would lose control of the House of Representatives, so an environment favorable to her winning the Senate may not exist. 

Meghan McCain, a Republican often from a different wing of the party than Greene, suggested she might take her old job. 

‘I knew she was going to be the next cohost of The View!’ McCain wrote on X.

Greene made waves when it was announced she would be a guest on the liberal ABC gabfest earlier this month, with her appearance cited by Trump when he said she had ‘gone Far Left’.

Trump claimed the Greene ‘has gone Far Left, even doing The View, with their Low IQ Republican hating Anchors’. 

However, an independent media career or one as a Republican commentator for more left-leaning networks may be in the works.

Greene is already a published author, but many have speculated that she could produce another or even her own podcast or TV show in conservative media.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez took a much more cynical view of Greene’s resignation, given it was set right at the moment her federal pension was set to vest. 

‘She’s carefully timing her departure just 1-2 days after her pension kicks in and after making millions of dollars insider trading stocks for weapons manufacturers and others while in office,’ the democratic socialist said on Instagram. 

‘She is saying a lot but her ACTIONS have not backed up the rhetoric. For all her talk, she’s STILL voting with them to gut healthcare and advance self-dealing corruption schemes.’ 

The Daily Mail has reached out to Greene for comment. 

Greene announced she will resign from Congress at the beginning of 2026 following her split from longtime ally Trump.

In a lengthy statement and 10-minute video, she branded the president ‘hateful’ over his decision to retract his endorsement of her, a move which saw him dismiss Greene as a ‘ranting lunatic’.

The Georgia lawmaker cited a growing disgust with the political establishment in Washington and her fight for the release of the so-called Epstein files, which formed much of her feud with Trump.

She raged against the ‘political industrial complex’ which she claimed uses Americans as ‘pawns in an endless game of division’.

Greene said that it would be unfair for her ‘sweet little district’ to ‘endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the President we all fought for’ and even added that ‘Republicans will likely lose the midterms’.

Greene went on to claim she has ‘always been despised in Washington, DC, and just never fit in’.

The Republican also said that she was leaving to spend more time with her family amid constant death threats she claimed she received in the wake of her clash with with the president. She said her last day would be January 5, 2026. 

In his first response to the news, Trump had no interest in mending fences with Greene in his first words following her resignation. 

‘I think it’s great news for the country. It’s great,’ he said.

Greene had been a MAGA loyalist since her election in 2020, but a schism has developed between her and the president over several major issues

Trump also said Greene had not reached out or told him of her decision before she made the announcement. 

‘Nah, it doesn’t matter, you know but I think it’s great. I think she should be happy,’ Trump said.

He said he had no plans to speak with Greene but wishes her well.

Greene also expressed profound frustration with her own party’s inability to get anything done despite controlling the presidency and both houses of Congress in 2025. 

‘Almost one year into our majority, the legislature has been mostly sidelined, we endured an eight week shutdown wrongly resulting in the House not working for the entire time, and we are entering campaign season which means all courage leaves and only safe campaign re-election mode is turned on,’ she said. 

Greene’s departure will cap five tumultuous years in Congress. 

She was first an outsider, then briefly at the center of power during House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s reign. 

Trump’s return to the White House could have heralded a new era of clout in Washington, but Greene’s simmering discontent led to a split with the president.
