She will resign from office on January 5, 2026, she announced in a video message on the X platform. Trump withdrew his support from his party colleague Greene a week ago and described her as "crazy".
The background to this was a public dispute over the publication of all files relating to the case of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Greene took a confrontational stance towards the President. Trump had initially vehemently rejected the publication of the documents, but he finally relented when it became clear that a bipartisan majority would be found in the House of Representatives.
After entering parliament in 2021, Greene quickly gained national prominence as one of the leading hardliners of the right wing of her party. For years, she stood out as an ardent supporter of Trump and advocated arch-conservative positions - for example on abortion and gun rights as well as immigration policy. The MP from the southern state of Georgia also repeatedly glorified violence and made racist comments.
