ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) — For the second time this month, Georgia congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene is denying rumors she plans to run for president.

Late Friday, Greene stunned the nation by announcing she was resigning from Congress, effective Jan. 5, 2026, setting into motion another round of speculation about her future.

In early November, Greene appeared on CNN after NOTUS.org, which bills itself as a nonpartisan news organization, published a story alleging Greene was telling people she’s running for president.

“I never said I was... running for president in 2028,” Greene said. “I said I wasn’t running for governor... in this upcoming election. I said I wasn’t running for Senate in this upcoming election, and I haven’t said I’m running for president."

On Sunday, Greene posted on X another statement, saying she has no plans to run for the office:

“I’m not running for President and never said I wanted to and have only laughed about it when anyone would mention it ... 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.

“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 said. “And most importantly, I’m not the kind of person who is willing to make the deals that must be made in order to be allowed to have the title. Again, I’m not motivated by power and titles.”

Arguably once President Donald Trump’s strongest, most vocal Congressional supporter, Greene’s relationship with the man now serving as the 47th U.S. president has deteriorated in recent weeks, even to the point of the president calling Greene, “a traitor.”
