Marjorie Taylor Greene: No Plans for a 2028 Presidential Run

Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has emphatically denied any plans to run for president in 2028. She addressed the speculation in a detailed post on X, refuting reports that suggested she was considering a presidential bid.

Departure from Congress and Public Disagreement

Greene announced her decision to step down from Congress in January, which sparked widespread speculation about her future political ambitions. Her departure follows a public disagreement with former President Donald Trump, whom she has criticized for his focus on foreign policy and his handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case files.

Trump, in response, labeled Greene a "traitor" and indicated he would support a challenge to her House seat.

Criticism of the Republican Party

Greene has been vocal about her dissatisfaction with the Republican Party, particularly its management of the government shutdown. Despite these criticisms, she maintains that she has no interest in running for president. She described the process as exhausting and ineffective, stating that the political system is unlikely to address America's problems.

Dismissing Reports of Presidential Ambitions

Greene's post included a screenshot of a TIME article that claimed she had privately considered a 2028 presidential run. She dismissed this as a "complete lie", arguing that the article lacked credible sources. She emphasized that the demands of a presidential campaign, such as constant travel and fundraising, are not appealing to her.

Denying Trump's Influence

Trump previously suggested that Greene was criticizing him because he advised her against running for Senate or governor in Georgia. However, Greene denied this in an interview with CNN's "State of the Union", stating that she made these decisions independently.
