Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's pending resignation from Congress in January is shaking up GOP circles in Georgia and raising some questions about President Donald Trump's influence in Congress.
Greene, a prominent Trump supporter, cited disagreements with him as a reason for stepping down. Trump had labeled her a “traitor” and planned to endorse a challenger against her.
The Associated Press reporter Meg Kinnard explains the reaction to Greene’s decision in her home state of Georgia and what may happen next.
"Some in Greene's home state of Georgia say they believe she would have won that primary anyway, even if Donald Trump had opposed her, citing the lack of success of some other Trump-backed challengers in previous races," said Kinnard.
"She said she's not running for Senate or governor in next year's elections or president in 2028, but a lot could happen between now and then," added Kinnard.
Her decision aligns her with other Republicans who have clashed with Trump and left Congress of their own volition.
