President Donald Trump said he was not informed in advance about Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s plan to leave office on January 5, 2026, and indicated he does not intend to speak with her following the announcement.

“Nah, it doesn’t matter, you know? But I think it’s great,” Trump said.

“I think she should be happy.”

Greene, a Republican from Georgia and once one of Trump’s most vocal supporters, had recently clashed with the president over documents related to Jeffrey Epstein and disagreed with him on several policy positions.

In her resignation letter, Greene wrote, “I have too much self respect and dignity, love my family way too much, and do not want my sweet district to have to endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the President we all fought for, only to fight and win my election while Republicans will likely lose the midterms.”

She added, “It’s all so absurd and completely unserious. I refuse to be a ‘battered wife’ hoping it all goes away and gets better.”

Greene’s planned departure will change the House’s narrow margin.

The chamber currently has 219 Republicans and 213 Democrats.

Greene had previously attempted to remove Johnson from his leadership role last year.

A House GOP aide described Greene’s resignation plan to the New York Post as a “vindictive” effort intended to “f**k” over the Republican majority.
