Former Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said Americans are “angry” with both Democrats and Republicans when asked about creating a new political party.
Greene, who resigned from Congress after her feud with President Donald Trump, has been increasingly critical of Trump and the Republican Party.
“Most Americans are very much angry with both parties,” Green said on The View Tuesday. “Let’s look at the Republican and Democrat establishment, basically the Mitch McConnells, the Chuck Schumers, all of these that have been in power for decades have brought us to $40 trillion in debt.”
The former congresswoman expressed interest in starting a new political party after her public split from the Republican Party over the handling of the Epstein files and relations with Israel.
Greene announced in June that she was following the lead of former Trump ally Tucker Carlon’s by leaving the Republican Party.
“There is A LOT of us that are absolutely fed up and will not support a party that betrays its voters and country,” Green said. “That does not mean we are turning into Democrats either. But we are DONE with the America LAST Republican Party.”
In an interview with Piers Morgan Uncensored in June, Greene acknowledged the difficulties of starting a new political party, but said she’s having “serious conversations” about it.
“I think there’s a group of us that if we decide to align, we could launch a true America-focused party that doesn’t fall into the traps of Democrats or Republicans, but could align some serious players from the right and the left,” Greene said.
Greene’s comments come at a time when there has also been growing anti-establishment sentiment among progressive voices in the Democratic Party, including New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
Socialist and progressive candidates, who won their primaries by defeating incumbents, campaigned on anti-establishment rhetoric, with some saying they wouldn’t support House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) as speaker or Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) as Senate majority leader if Democrats took back control of both chambers.
In her appearance on The View, Greene did not confirm whether she is starting a political party, but described the type of candidates that would succeed by running as a third candidate outside of the two main political parties.
“The future, I think, for a third party or candidates that don’t belong in the two silos of Republicans and Democrats are going to be candidates that work for the best interests of Americans,” Greene said.
Other Republicans who left the Republican Party have also expressed interest in establishing a new political party, including Carlson.

Carlson told the Columbia Journalism Review in a story released July 1 that he plans to build a new political party.
“I’m going to help build a third party,” Carlson said. “There should be a good-faith effort to figure out what benefits the country.”
