In a recent interview with CBS's 60 Minutes, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican from Georgia, expressed dissatisfaction with former President Donald Trump, claiming he has neglected the concerns of his supporters. Greene stated that Trump has failed to prioritize domestic policy, particularly affordability issues affecting her constituents, and criticized his support for the cryptocurrency and pharmaceutical industries as indicative of alignment with corporate interests rather than the needs of the American public.

Greene's critique extends to Trump's dismissal of affordability concerns as a 'hoax' created by Democrats, asserting that these issues are genuine in her district and across the nation. This concern led her to align with Democrats during a government shutdown to advocate for the extension of healthcare subsidies under the Affordable Care Act, a move she described as unexpected.

Additionally, Greene has made notable statements regarding foreign affairs, labeling the conflict in Gaza as a 'genocide' and voting against the Antisemitism Awareness Act, expressing frustration with what she perceives as performative actions in Congress regarding antisemitism.

Greene's relationship with Trump has soured, particularly following his derogatory remarks about her, which she claims have resulted in a surge of death threats directed at her and her family. She reported receiving a pipe bomb threat at her residence and multiple threats against her son, linking these to Trump's comments. Greene communicated these threats to Trump and Vice President JD Vance, who indicated that they would investigate the matter.

During the interview, Greene noted that many Republican colleagues who previously mocked Trump have shifted their stance to support him publicly, particularly as he approaches the 2024 primary. She expressed concern that the political climate has created an environment where dissenting opinions within the party are met with hostility.

Greene announced her resignation from Congress, effective January 5, 2026, stating that she did not want her district to endure a divisive primary challenge. Despite her criticisms of Trump, she maintains a significant following in her district and has dismissed speculation about her future political ambitions, stating she has no desire to run for higher office, including the presidency or governorship.

Throughout the year, Greene has diverged from Trump and the Republican Party on various issues, including supporting the extension of Obamacare subsidies and advocating for the release of documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein case. She has distanced herself from the 'MAGA' label, asserting that it is synonymous with Trump’s political agenda, while she prefers to identify with the broader 'America First' movement. Greene's resignation marks a significant moment in her political career amid ongoing discussions about the influence of corporate power in politics and the implications for constituents' needs.
