Marjorie Taylor Greene’s recent departure might not be an isolated event within the Republican ranks.

Conversations with unnamed lawmakers suggest emerging divisions in the Republican conference, as some members of Congress are reportedly considering an early exit before the midterm elections.

Several Republican House representatives are allegedly contemplating retiring mid-term, following the path of the outspoken Georgian politician.

Greene surprised many on Friday night by declaring her intention to retire in January, after a contentious and lengthy dispute with President Trump. Her decision seems to have caught the attention of others, who might be considering a similar move.

The catalyst for this potential exodus appears to be a growing sense of frustration and anger toward a White House that has sidelined their input, coupled with a challenging midterm outlook for the Republicans.

Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, speaking on Fox News, described Greene as “the canary in the coal mine,” warning, “Congress needs to wake up because they might see a wave of retirements.”

One reportedly highly placed lawmaker told news site Punchbowl that the White House team has treated members ‘like garbage,’ also noting that ‘morale has never been lower.’

However, a House GOP aide told Daily Mail that he did not ‘view Punchbowl’s reports’ of ‘garbage’ treatment ‘as accurate, and in the case it is accurate, the more people who share the same mindset [with Greene] and leave, the better it is for the party.’

The midterm picture looks increasingly hostile for Republicans; pro-Trump supporters are seen

White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson told the Daily Mail after this article’s initial publication that ‘the president’s legislative agenda is a historic success.’

‘From the largest and most consequential Republican domestic legislation ever, which fulfilled dozens of campaign promises and was signed on July 4, record speed and quantity of nominations, landmark cryptocurrency legislation, and fulfilling the multi-decade goal of defunding NPR and PBS, the President has gotten massive amounts of his agenda through Congress in the face of total Democratic obstruction,’ Jackson added.

Christian Conservative broadcaster Erick Erickson noted on X that he has noticed a stream of dissatisfaction with the White House legislative team, writing that members will either assert their need to be a part of decisions, or they will quit early.’

Top Trump ally Steve Bannon ‘likened Congress to the Duma,’ commenting on their ‘ceremonial’ nature per the Wall Street Journal. The characterization was not intended as a compliment.

As the political pendulum typically swings away from the party of the President in the midterm election, Republicans are poised to lose political power and most likely the speaker’s gavel in the House of Representatives come 2027. 

However, if Republicans resign and Democrats win special elections, Speaker Mike Johnson’s gavel may be in jeopardy sooner rather than later.

Even if members do not resign, many may choose not to seek reelection during the expected midterm bloodbath.

A prime example of this is Representative Don Bacon, a Nebraska Republican who would have had to fight an uphill battle in a district that was won by Kamala Harris during last year’s presidential election. Bacon has announced that he will not seek re-election.

Bacon told Axios he was so appalled by the Trump administration’s peace plan in Ukraine that he considered resigning in protest. 

Others still have voiced their dissatisfaction with Washington in other ways, namely by seeking office in their home states.

Texas Congressman Chip Roy announced in August that he plans to depart Capitol Hill after four terms and seek the role of state attorney general in the Lone Star state.

His decision came after he earned the wrath of Trump for getting in the way of his MAGA agenda.

During his time in Congress, Roy has not been afraid to buck members of his own political party, causing headaches for Johnson and even the President.

A large number of prominent Republican members of Congress in both chambers are also running for governor of their respective home states, at times against their Congressional colleagues.

The Republican primary for South Carolina governor includes both Representative Ralph Norman and Congresswoman Nancy Mace.

Former House Republican chairman Elise Stefanik is running for governor of New York, and Congressman Byron Donalds is running for governor in his home state of Florida.

Senators have also announced their decisions to leave Washington for home-state bids. Marsha Blackburn is running for governor of Tennessee, and former Auburn University football coach Tommy Tuberville is running for governor of Alabama.
