Trump Drops Endorsement of Marjorie Taylor Greene Amid Growing Rift

Trump Pulls Endorsement of Greene

In a highly publicized announcement, former President Trump declared he was ending his endorsement of Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, calling her recent actions “complain, complain, complain” and accusing her of going “far left.”

He stated that he’d support a primary challenger should one emerge, signalling a major shift in his relationship with a once-staunch ally.

Greene fired back, sharing text messages she said she sent to Trump and accusing him of attacking her after she pressed for the release of files related to the Jeffrey Epstein case — a move she claims drew his ire.

Key Drivers & Context

• Greene has recently broken with Trump over several policy issues, including her support for a bipartisan petition to force disclosure of the Epstein-related documents — a measure Trump publicly opposes.
• Trump pointed to polling data he shared with her, saying she had slim chances in a Senate or governor’s race unless she had his backing — backing he said he would not provide.
• The split highlights growing tensions within the Republican party’s former Trump-support base, especially around issues of loyalty, policy independence and messaging discipline.

Implications & What to Watch

• This public break may embolden other Republicans who have diverged from Trump’s line — or conversely, it may serve as a warning to stay aligned.
• For Greene, losing Trump’s endorsement could weaken her standing in a GOP primary in Georgia.
• The episode signals that Trump’s “MAGA” coalition may be entering a phase of purge or re-alignment ahead of future elections.
