URGENT UPDATE: President Donald Trump has officially withdrawn his endorsement of Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, igniting a political firestorm within the GOP. Trump announced this decision on Truth Social late today, stating, “I am withdrawing my support and endorsement of ‘Congresswoman’ Marjorie Taylor Greene, of the great state of Georgia.”
This shocking move comes as Greene, a staunch ally of Trump, has recently expressed dissent over several of his policies. Over the past few weeks, she has made headlines by publicly criticizing Trump’s agenda, claiming it has not prioritized domestic issues. Trump expressed his frustration, accusing Greene of merely “complain, complain, complain.”
The conflict reportedly escalated after Trump revealed a poll to Greene, indicating her slim chances of winning a future Senate or gubernatorial race without his backing, which he has no intention of providing. Trump hinted at the possibility of a primary challenger in Greene’s district, suggesting he would support the right candidate in the upcoming midterm elections.
In a response on X, Greene defended herself, stating, “He just attacked me and lied about me.” She hinted that Trump’s withdrawal of support could be linked to her efforts in urging his administration to release any records related to the late Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender. Trump has previously dismissed concerns surrounding Epstein as a “hoax” pushed by Democrats.
Greene’s recent criticisms have not been limited to Trump’s handling of Epstein. She also labeled Trump’s trade tariffs as “bumpy” and expressed her disagreement with his claims about inflation being under control. “We need a concrete plan to tackle healthcare costs,” Greene asserted, further distancing herself from Trump’s policy decisions.
The implications of Trump’s withdrawal of support could be significant for Greene and the GOP as a whole. With a vote on releasing Epstein files scheduled for next week, Greene accused Trump of trying to intimidate fellow Republicans ahead of this critical decision. She described his actions as “astonishing,” arguing that he is fighting hard to prevent the release of Epstein-related documents.
As political tensions rise within the party, all eyes will be on the upcoming midterm elections, where Greene’s political future hangs in the balance. This developing situation highlights a growing rift between Trump and some of his once-reliable allies, raising questions about the stability of his support moving forward.
Stay tuned for updates as this story develops, and watch for potential challenges to Greene’s position from within the Republican ranks. The fallout from Trump’s decision could reshape the political landscape as we approach the midterms.
