Voisin—The Washington Post/Getty Images by [Chantelle Lee](https://time.com/author/chantelle-lee/) ## Chantelle Lee Reporter Mar 4, 2026 6:57 PM UTC Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene is warning Republicans that President Donald Trump’s war in Iran could cost the party in the midterms. “Now that Trump and his admin betrayed their campaign promises of No More Foreign Wars/No More Regime Change and Republicans in the majority in the House and Senate are flat out refusing to pass key legislation, voter outrage was shown in yesterday’s Texas primary,” she said in a [post](https://x.com/mtgreenee/status/2029194893776584927) on X on Wednesday. “More Democrats showed up to vote than Republicans in yesterday’s Texas primary. If that happens in November’s general election, Texas will be flipping it’s Senate seat blue.” “Whatever Trump’s new twisted perversion of MAGA is, is going to LOSE in the midterms,” she continued. Greene, who [resigned](https://time.com/7336228/marjorie-taylore-greene-resignation-letter-trump/) from Congress in January, used to be a loyal ally to the President until the two had a [very public and dramatic falling out](https://time.com/7334415/trump-marjorie-taylor-greene-relationship-breakdown-epstein-disagreements/) in November. The former Georgia Representative clashed with Trump over his Administration’s handling of the files related to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Last month, she [cautioned](https://time.com/7378977/marjorie-taylor-greene-trump-feud-maga-epstein-files-warning/) the MAGA base that some of their responses to the release of the so-called “Epstein files” could harm Republicans in the November elections. “All of you MAGA influencers and the rest mocking the seriousness of women who were trafficked and raped as teenagers and young women look like cult fools,” she said in a [social media post](https://x.com/FmrRepMTG/status/2023083086834004465). “Good luck trying to get women to vote for Republicans in the midterms you insensitive clowns. The Republican Party already has a woman voting problem.” She didn’t specify who she was referring to in the post. The results of the midterm elections in November could have a major impact on the balance of power in Washington, D.C., as well as on Trump’s ability to continue to enact his agenda. At the moment, Republicans control the House and the Senate, but Democrats are [seeking](https://time.com/7357434/democrats-2026-elections-senate-races-donald-trump-texas-maine-michigan/) to gain seats in both chambers of Congress. And there have been [some signs](https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5604010-democrats-energized-midterm-elections-poll/) that Democrats are generating enthusiasm among voters ahead of the midterms. A historically high number of Texas Democrats flocked to the polls to vote in the state’s primary election on Tuesday, early data show. The Southern state has [open primaries](https://fairvote.org/archives/open-and-closed-primaries/), which means that any voter can vote in any party’s primary election. On Tuesday, more voters [cast their ballot](https://www.cnn.com/2026/03/04/politics/democratic-turnout-texas-record-levels) in the Democratic primary than in the Republican race, though there are still votes left to be tallied. ## Trump grapples with Republican pushback on the war in Iran Greene is not the only Republican who has criticized Trump’s military action in Iran. Tucker Carlson, a former Fox News anchor turned podcaster, met with the President multiple times in recent weeks to try and talk him out of authorizing the military operation, the [New York _Times_](https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/02/us/politics/trump-war-iran-israel.html)reported. Another former Fox News host, Megyn Kelly, [shared](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DVZKDbxiTwJ/) her criticisms of the attack on her show, saying that “no one should have to die for a foreign country.” “I don’t think those four service members died for the United States,” she said. “I think they died for Iran or for Israel.” On Monday, officials said that the number of American service members [killed](https://time.com/7382451/iran-war-us-deaths-soldiers-kuwait-amor-coady-khork-tietjens/) in the war had risen to six. Trump and his base have fired back on that pushback. In an [interview](https://rachaelbade.substack.com/p/exclusive-trump-hits-back-at-tucker) with the journalist Rachael Bade earlier this week, Trump said that “MAGA is Trump—MAGA’s not the other two,” referring to Carlson and Kelly. “I have to do what’s right, number one—and you can’t have Iran getting a nuclear weapon,” he said. Lawmakers have [largely sided with their party](https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/iran-congress-government-khamenei-strikes-israel-war-powers-resolution-rcna261193) over the issue, with most Republican members of Congress supporting Trump’s decision to launch the attack. Early polling shows that many Americans [disapprove](https://time.com/7382231/iran-us-israel-war-support-polling-trump-republicans-democrats/) of the U.S. military action in Iran: 43%, according to a [Reuters/Ipsos poll](https://www.reuters.com/world/us/just-one-four-americans-support-us-strikes-iran-reutersipsos-poll-finds-2026-03-01/). In comparison, only 27% of poll respondents expressed support for the attacks. But polling also reveals a [clear partisan split](https://time.com/7382231/iran-us-israel-war-support-polling-trump-republicans-democrats/) over the issue. While more than 80% of Democratic respondents in a [CNN poll](https://edition.cnn.com/2026/03/02/politics/cnn-poll-59-of-americans-disapprove-of-iran-strikes-and-most-think-a-long-term-conflict-is-likely) said they were against the military operation, only 23% of Republicans felt the same. The CNN poll, which was conducted by SSRS, found that 77% of Republicans approved of the strikes, compared to less than 20% of Democrats. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/7382564/marjorie-taylore-greene-trump-iran-midterms-primaries/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/7382564/marjorie-taylore-greene-trump-iran-midterms-primaries/"},"headline":"Marjorie Taylor Greene Warns Trump Administration’s War in Iran Could Cost Republicans the Midterms","datePublished":"2026-03-04T18:57:37.000Z","dateModified":"2026-03-19T11:50:45.763Z","description":"Greene accused Trump of betraying his campaign promise of \"No More Foreign Wars,\" warning it could hurt Republicans in the midterms","url":"https://time.com/7382564/marjorie-taylore-greene-trump-iran-midterms-primaries/","keywords":["Donald Trump","News Desk"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc5b3e942ed64908b/69b048a26335623499baffcb/MTG-Trump-Iran.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Chantelle Lee","jobTitle":"Reporter","url":"https://time.com/author/chantelle-lee/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc5b3e942ed64908b/69b048a26335623499baffcb/MTG-Trump-Iran.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"sex offender Jeffrey Epstein","caption":"sex offender Jeffrey Epstein","creditText":"Sarah L.
