(NewsNation) — Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., is shutting down rumors of a 2028 presidential bid.
The former Trump ally on Friday announced her resignation from Congress, effective Jan. 5, 2026, following an online feud with the president, who withdrew his support from her. Greene’s resignation was unexpected to many of her colleagues and the public.
The announcement sparked speculation of what’s next for Greene. Was it a secret buyout to keep her quiet? Will she run for Senate? Does she plan to campaign for the presidency in a few years?
TIME Magazine reported on Saturday that Greene privately told her allies she is considering running for president in 2028, a claim Greene refuted in length on social platform X.
“TIME claims ‘sources’ told them I’m running for President in 2028, which means this is a complete lie and they made it up because they can’t even quote the names of the people who they claim said it.” Greene wrote. “That’s not journalism, it’s called lying.”
She said clearly that she is not running.
“Most importantly, I’m not the kind of person who is willing to make the deals that must be made in order to be allowed to have the title. Again, I’m not motivated by power and titles,” she continued.
Another outlet, NOTUS, reported earlier this month that Greene was telling people she wanted to run for president.
Greene became critical of Trump in recent months, a reversal of her previous staunch support of the president. Trump later called her a traitor.
