WASHINGTON (AP) — Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, a loyal supporter-turned-critic of President Donald Trump who faced his political retribution if she sought reelection, said Friday she is resigning from Congress in January.

Greene, in a more than 10-minute video posted online, explained her decision and said she didn't want her congressional district "to have to endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the president we all fought for," she said.

Greene's resignation followed a public falling-out with Trump in recent months, as the congresswoman criticized him for his stance on files related to Jeffrey Epstein, along with foreign policy and health care.

Trump branded her a "traitor" and "wacky" and said he would endorse a challenger against her when she ran for reelection next year.

She said her last day would be Jan. 5, 2026.
