Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., is slamming reports that she’s considering a presidential run, insisting she has no intention of seeking the White House as she prepares to leave Congress next year.
“I’m not running for President and never said I wanted to and have only laughed about it when anyone would mention it,” Greene wrote in a post on X on Sunday.
According to CBS News, Greene’s dismissal of the rumors came just days after she announced she would resign from Congress in January, following a very public fallout with President Donald Trump, who pulled his endorsement last week.
The decision marked a dramatic shift for a lawmaker who built her political brand as one of Trump’s fiercest defenders.
Greene’s latest comments were aimed at a Time article that reported she had considered a possible 2028 campaign. She also previously pushed back on reporting from NOTUS, which claimed she was telling people she intended to run.
On Sunday, she explained why the idea never appealed to her.
“Running for President requires traveling all over the country, begging for donations all day everyday to raise hundreds of millions of dollars, arguing political talking points everyday to the point of exhaustion, destroying your health and having no personal life in order to attempt to get enough votes to become President all to go to work into a system that refuses to fix any of America’s problems,” Greene wrote.
She added, “The fact that I’d have to go through all that but would be totally blocked from truly fixing anything is exactly why I would never do it.”
Greene argued she is “not motivated by power and titles,” placing blame on what she called the “Political Industrial Complex,” which she said has “destroyed our country and will never allow someone like me or you to rise to power and actually solve the crises that plague all of us.”
Her planned departure follows months of rising tension with GOP leadership. Greene has spoken openly about her frustration with how Republicans have handled issues such as health care, affordability, and the government shutdown.
At the same time, she remained one of the party’s most vocal advocates for releasing the Epstein files, even as other Republicans faced pressure to back off.
For a lawmaker known since 2021 as a combative conservative firebrand and loyal Trump ally, the political rupture sparked immediate speculation that she might be setting the stage for a presidential campaign.
Greene’s firm denial appears aimed at tamping down that narrative as she transitions out of Congress and into an uncertain political future.
