Trump’s favorite candidate resigns from his position

According to Isna, Donald Trump also told the ABC reporter after announcing Green’s readiness to resign: “I think this is very good News for the country.” It’s very good.”

According to Reuters news agency, Marjorie Taylor Green’s departure from Trump’s team is a surprising event that few would have imagined months ago.

Green, a Republican from Georgia, was once one of Trump’s closest allies and an outspoken advocate of his “America First” agenda, but the rift between the two has deepened in recent months over the release of government files on sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and other issues.

In a 10-minute video posted on social media, Ms. Green said she was motivated to resign by the prospect of facing a Trump-backed Republican challenger in the primary and the possibility of Democrats taking over the House in next year’s midterm elections.

He also complained that Congress has been largely “marginalized” since Trump’s return to the presidency in January.

The American politician also continued: “I have a lot of self-respect and self-esteem, I love my family too much and I don’t want my beloved district to have to put up with a nasty and hateful primary race from a president that we all fought for, just to fight and win my election, when the Republicans will probably lose in the midterm elections.” I don’t want to play the role of a battered wife.”

“Voters don’t care about Washington because they know how much credit card debt they have, they know how much their bills have gone up in the last five years, they actually do their own grocery shopping and they know the cost of food is too high, their rents have gone up exponentially, and corporate asset managers have repeatedly undercut their bids when they offer to buy houses,” Green said.

The tension between Trump and Greene has fueled concerns among Republicans that Trump’s “Make America Great Again” campaign base could falter a year before the midterm elections, when Democrats hope to regain control of Congress.

Green’s resignation will bring the Republicans’ seats closer to the Democrats’ in the House of Representatives. Republicans have 53 seats in the Senate against 47 seats of the Democrats.

Increasingly independent of Trump, Marjorie Taylor Green has joined the House’s push to compel the release of the Epstein files, criticized House leadership for not doing more to address health care costs during the recent government shutdown, and called Israel’s attack on Gaza genocide.

Instead, Trump has become his main critic, and before the House of Representatives’ vote on the release of documents related to the Epstein case, he called Green “a traitor” and a “disgrace” to the Republican Party.

Trump also withdrew his support for Greene, calling him a “babbling lunatic.”

In a video message posted on social media, Greene also defended her vote to release the Epstein case, saying, “Defending American women who were raped, trafficked and used by rich and powerful men at the age of 14 should not result in me being called a traitor and threatened by the President of the United States, who I fought for.”

Taylor Greene won the Georgia constituency in 2024 with 64% of the vote. Residents of the area expressed hope that his rift with Trump would soon be resolved and expressed their desire to support both of them. But Green made it clear on Friday that he had no interest in arguing with a Trump-backed challenger.

He went on to say that even if he wins, he will probably be in the minority of the House after the mid-term elections and will have to defend Trump in the impeachment process, a situation he called “absurd” and “completely unserious”.
