WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump announced Friday that he is withdrawing support for Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, signaling a break between the former president and a high-profile ally in Congress.
Trump, who served as president from 2017 to 2021, made the announcement amid growing tensions between Greene and Republican leadership. In recent months, Greene publicly criticized party leaders and Trump, questioning strategies and decisions on legislation and party priorities.
Greene, a congresswoman from Georgia, previously aligned closely with Trump’s agenda, supporting his claims regarding the 2020 presidential election and defending him against critics. Her support had contributed to her national profile and fundraising efforts among conservative voters.
Political observers noted that Greene’s criticism of Republican leadership, including Trump’s endorsements and strategies, may have influenced his decision to withdraw backing. Trump did not provide details regarding future endorsements in Greene’s district.
Greene retains her seat in the House of Representatives and continues to participate in legislative activities. She had not issued a public response at the time of Trump’s announcement.
