Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene delivered a political shockwave on Monday after releasing a surprise video declaring her immediate resignation from Congress, a move that caught lawmakers in both parties off guard.
In the three-minute message posted on her social media channels, Greene appeared visibly tense as she announced that she would be stepping down from her seat, saying the decision came after “a period of deep reflection” and citing unnamed personal and political pressures. She did not specify the exact circumstances behind her departure, leaving room for speculation across Capitol Hill.
Greene, one of the most polarizing figures in the House and a fierce ally of former President Donald Trump, has built her political identity on aggressive rhetoric, heated confrontations and a steady stream of controversies. Her exit marks one of the most dramatic turns in recent congressional history, especially given her central role in recent Republican internal battles.
Reaction inside the GOP was swift and divided. Some Republicans expressed shock, noting that Greene had given no public indication she was considering leaving office. Others suggested that increasing tensions within the party — particularly over strategy, leadership disputes and messaging heading into the next election cycle — may have contributed to her abrupt announcement.
Democrats, meanwhile, responded with a mixture of surprise and caution. While Greene’s departure removes a frequent source of political firestorms, several lawmakers warned that her influence within conservative media and activist circles will likely persist beyond her time in Congress.
Greene said she intends to provide additional details “in the coming days,” but for now her resignation leaves her district preparing for a special election and Washington bracing for the fallout from one of the year’s most unexpected political developments.
