The Georgia lawmaker has privately told allies that she has considered running for president in 2028, according to two people who have spoken with her directly about the prospect and three others familiar with her thinking. The possibility comes amid the dramatic rupture in Greene’s relationship with President Donald Trump, which contributed to her decision to announce on Friday that she would resign from the House of Representatives in January. Greene did not respond to multiple calls and text messages seeking comment. A spokesperson for the congresswoman also did not reply to multiple requests for comment. NOTUS [previously reported](https://www.notus.org/2028-election/marjorie-taylor-greene-presidential-run) that Greene was telling people she wanted to run for president. A hard-right firebrand who built her name as one of Trump’s fiercest defenders, Greene has become an unexpected critic of the President in recent months. She has challenged Trump’s insistence that costs are falling, criticized his handling of the U.S.–Israel relationship, and, most provocatively, pushed him to force the Justice Department to release the Epstein files over his initial objections. Trump responded by calling Greene a “traitor” and publicly disowning her. "I am withdrawing my support and Endorsement of ‘Congresswoman’ Marjorie Taylor Greene, of the Great State of Georgia,” he [wrote](https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/trump-slams-marjorie-taylor-greene-truth-social-post-georgia-congresswoman-fire-back) on Truth Social. “I understand that wonderful, Conservative people are thinking about primarying Marjorie in her District of Georgia, that they too are fed up with her and her antics and, if the right person runs, they will have my Complete and Unyielding Support.” If Greene ultimately decides to run for president, House GOP members familiar with her thinking say they suspect she could play a role akin to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in 2024: a candidate capable of siphoning off votes from the GOP nominee, positioning her to leverage that political capital into a possiblerole within a future Republican administration. Greene first burst onto the national scene during the 2020 election cycle. When she arrived in Congress in January 2021, she demonstrated a flair for provocation and emerged as a thorn in the side of congressional Republican leadership. She attacked adversaries and cemented her status as one of the most controversial figures in the MAGA movement. **Read More:** [_On the Campaign Trail With Marjorie Taylor Greene._](https://time.com/6186463/marjorie-taylor-greene-interview-georgia/) Earlier this year, Trump privately discouraged her from running for Georgia governor or senator, showing polls suggesting she would lose a statewide race, according to a senior White House official. Greene’s posture toward the president then shifted, according to sources close to her. She has since emerged as an unlikely critic of Trump across a range of issues, to the bewilderment of many in his movement. After Greene announced her resignation—declaring that “loyalty should be a two-way street”—Trump celebrated her departure. “I think it’s great news for the country,” he [told](https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/rep-marjorie-taylor-greene-resign-congress-january/story?id=127771912) ABC News. Asked whether Greene had informed him beforehand, he shrugged it off: “Nah, it doesn’t matter… but I think it’s great. I think she should be happy.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/7336273/marjorie-taylor-greene-2028/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/7336273/marjorie-taylor-greene-2028/"},"headline":"Marjorie Taylor Greene Has Considered Running for President in 2028, Allies Say","datePublished":"2025-11-22T20:56:38.000Z","dateModified":"2026-03-11T00:36:11.958Z","description":"The Georgia lawmaker is leaving Congress, but that may not be the end of her political ambitions","url":"https://time.com/7336273/marjorie-taylor-greene-2028/","keywords":["republicans"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltd31112fc7b31b0b0/6998cbef93610c72fec30362/GettyImages-2246766920_28928d.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Eric Cortellessa","jobTitle":"Senior Correspondent","url":"https://time.com/author/eric-cortellessa/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltd31112fc7b31b0b0/6998cbef93610c72fec30362/GettyImages-2246766920_28928d.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Trump Urges House To Vote For Epstein Files Release In Reversal","caption":"Trump Urges House To Vote For Epstein Files Release In Reversal","creditText":"Graeme Sloan—Bloomberg via Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/republicans/","name":"republicans"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/7336273/marjorie-taylor-greene-2028/","name":"Marjorie Taylor Greene Has Considered Running for President in 2028, Allies Say"}}]}] ```
