Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene announced she would resign from Congress midway through her third term, stepping down after clashes with Trump over policy and documents.

In Greene's strongly Republican Georgia district, locals feel left behind by change and view her as a unifying voice on cultural issues, though independents question whether her national notoriety translates into tangible local benefits.

Supporters like Jackie Harling describe Greene as a strong, fighter-like representative who vocalizes concerns shared by their community and serves as a positive voice for their views.

Greene is seen as a polarizing figure whose influence endures through ongoing party activism and continued focus on culture-war issues such as abortion, transgender rights, and America First policies.

Greene asserted that Trump voters are planning a 2026 tax revolt and accused the government of diverting funds to foreign countries and causes.

Her resignation follows a history of rise with Trump and controversial rhetoric, including criticism of Trump that persisted even as she aligned with him during much of his 2024 campaign.

Greene said she plans to take time off to spend with family and friends before deciding her next steps.

In interviews, she explained that her loyalty to Trump proved one-sided and that avoiding fault conflicted with her Christian values, prompting self-reflection and a shift away from divisive politics.

She expressed frustration that taxes burden Americans regardless of which party is in charge, while funds are allegedly misallocated.

Her break with Trump over foreign policy and Epstein-related disclosures created a public rift, with Trump later supporting a primary challenger before Greene's resignation.

She indicated that Trump's opposition and their falling-out were defining factors in her decision to resign.
