Report Details Congresswoman Possible Plan
It’s a strange and unceremonious final act for a woman who once stood at the center of MAGA’s populist vanguard. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, the firebrand from Georgia who rose to national fame by torching Democratic talking points and holding the Republican establishment’s feet to the fire, is now inching toward the exit door—and lighting matches on her way out.
According to reporting from MS Now, Greene is quietly preparing to resign from Congress next month, timing the move with the vesting of her congressional pension. But before she goes, she may try to take one final swing at Speaker Mike Johnson by launching a motion to vacate the chair—a procedural nuke with little chance of success, but a message all the same.

Sources say Greene has been privately canvassing her GOP colleagues in search of the nine members required to force a vote. Her motivation? Dissatisfaction with Johnson’s failure to codify key elements of Trump’s 2024 platform—a platform she once claimed to champion but now seems to be distancing herself from in increasingly awkward and theatrical ways.
This is, after all, the same Marjorie Taylor Greene who recently posed with Code Pink, a left-wing anti-war group, and apologized for being too loud and combative toward Democrats.
She’s made overtures to the hosts of The View, taken up the mantle of Epstein file disclosure, and even seemed willing to accept Democratic shutdown demands, including funding for illegal alien healthcare and NPR. Each of these moves further alienated her from the conservative base that once viewed her as a fearless defender of their values.
And now, after months of erratic positioning, Trump has formally broken with her. In a recent interview, he revealed that he stopped taking Greene’s calls—sometimes reportedly placed three times a day—after she began shifting focus and strategy without his blessing. The president then rescinded his endorsement, a move that would have been politically unthinkable just a year ago.
What’s left is a figure who once commanded headlines and grassroots donations with ease, now reduced to a lonely chess player in a game that’s moved on without her. Her reported attempt to oust Speaker Johnson—while bold on paper—is almost certain to fizzle.
Johnson, after all, has just received public praise from Trump at the White House Christmas Ball, and remains, at least for now, the consensus leader among House Republicans navigating a fractured and narrow majority.
