Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Pivot From Trump, Explained

Marjorie Taylor Greene, the firebrand Georgia Republican, has been breaking ranks with President Donald Trump and the GOP leadership in Congress on an increasingly long list of issues. She wants Congress to end the government shutdown by agreeing to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits. She has demanded the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files, called for a pathway to citizenship for immigrants, blasted the White House’s funding of wars in Ukraine and Israel and, most recently, torched the administration’s economic bailout of Argentina.

Greene calls herself “MAGA through and through,” “100% America first,” and carefully avoids directly criticizing Trump by name — but she blames Republican leaders in Congress for not following through on campaign promises to address the cost of living, lower health care premiums and end forever wars.
