Marjorie Taylor Greene Says She Has No Plans To Run For President In 2028

Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene is pushing back against reports suggesting she intends to pursue a presidential run in 2028. The Republican lawmaker, who recently announced she will leave Congress in January, took to social media to dismiss the speculation as entirely false.

In a lengthy statement posted Sunday, Greene wrote that she has “never said” she wanted to run for president and has only laughed when others mentioned the idea. Her announcement comes amid rising tensions with President Donald Trump, whom she has openly criticized in recent weeks for prioritizing foreign policy over domestic issues. She has also broken with the president over his handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case files.

Trump responded forcefully to her critiques, calling Greene a “traitor” and signaling he would support a primary challenger for her House seat. Greene, meanwhile, has broadened her criticism to the Republican Party as a whole, taking issue with the GOP’s approach to the recent government shutdown and other internal disputes.

A TIME report published Saturday claimed Greene has privately discussed the possibility of running for president, citing unnamed House Republicans familiar with her thinking. The article suggested she could siphon votes from the GOP nominee and leverage that influence into a future role within a Republican administration.

Greene firmly rejected the reporting, calling it fabricated due to its reliance on anonymous sources. She also outlined why she has no interest in seeking the presidency, citing the grueling nature of national campaigns, the financial demands, and what she described as the inability to enact meaningful change within a resistant political system.

Trump has previously claimed that Greene’s criticism stems from his discouragement of a Senate or gubernatorial run in Georgia. Greene denied the claim in an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union,” telling anchor Dana Bash that she made those decisions independently.

Greene’s departure from Congress and her public split with Trump have intensified speculation about her political future, but she maintains she has no intention of launching a 2028 presidential campaign.
