Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) threw her support behind a “2026 tax revolt” over President Donald Trump’s administration decision to prioritize foreign affairs over domestic issues, her latest jab at the president as her days in the House come to an end.
Greene said in a post to X that “almost every Trump voter” on X is “fed up” and is “planning a 2026 tax revolt.”
“And rightfully so! It’s because Americans work their asses off, barely make ends meet, and the government consistently gives their hard earned tax dollars to foreign countries, foreign wars, and foreigners the U.S. government has brought/allowed into America!” Greene wrote.

The Georgia congresswoman, a conservative firebrand and former Trump loyalist, has spent much of 2025 taking stands against the president and his administration’s policies that would have been unimaginable a year ago.
She turned heads when she called the war in Gaza between Hamas and Israel a genocide. She surprised many when she signed onto a discharge petition to force a vote on releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files, a controversy deemed a “hoax” by the president and a “show vote” by House Republican leaders.
Greene has also repeatedly called for the defunding of any support to Ukraine as the country continues its war with Russia, a situation in which Trump is intimately involved.
Trump finally pulled his support from Greene on Nov. 14, calling her “far left,” a “ranting Lunatic,” and a “traitor” to the GOP. A week later, Greene announced she wouldn’t seek reelection to the House in 2026 and, in a shock to many, said she would resign effective Jan. 5, 2026.
HERE’S WHERE HOUSE RETIREMENTS STAND AS CLOCK STRIKES MIDNIGHT ON 2025
Some centrist GOP lawmakers have taken measured steps to critique the White House on actions such as tariffs and military strikes against foreign vessels. Others have pointed out that some of his agenda items have deviated from his 2024 “America First” campaign slogan. But, on the whole, a majority of the GOP conference supports the administration’s policies, making Greene’s schism all the more rare in a political environment where the Republican Party is dominated by Trump.
A handful of centrists or those who have been outspoken on Trump in the past are retiring and not seeking reelection, such as Reps. Don Bacon (R-NE) and Dan Newhouse (R-WA). Newhouse’s seat will likely remain in Republican hands, while Bacon’s swing district is trending toward Democrats for the 2026 election cycle.
