Marjorie Taylor Greene Denies 2028 Presidential Run Rumors
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Georgia Republican known for her outspoken style and recent break with President Donald Trump, has firmly denied reports that she is considering a run for president in 2028.
The speculation began after several news outlets, including NOTUS and TIME, cited anonymous sources claiming Greene had privately discussed a potential presidential bid with allies. According to these reports, Greene has been working to reinvent her image and believes she has the national donor network to win a Republican primary. She has also criticized her party’s leadership, particularly Speaker Mike Johnson, and voiced concerns about expiring Affordable Care Act subsidies.
However, Greene has pushed back strongly against these claims. In a post on the social media platform X, she dismissed the reports as “baseless” and “gossip,” adding that she has never expressed interest in running for president and only laughs when the topic comes up.
“I’m not running for President and never said I wanted to and have only laughed about it when anyone would mention it,” Greene wrote.
She elaborated on her reasons for not pursuing the presidency, describing the campaign process as grueling and ultimately futile within the current political system.
“Running for President requires traveling all over the country, begging for donations all day everyday to raise hundreds of millions of dollars, arguing political talking points everyday to the point of exhaustion, destroying your health and having no personal life in order to attempt to get enough votes to become President all to go to work into a system that refuses to fix any of America’s problems,” Greene said.
Greene also criticized what she called the “Political Industrial Complex,” saying it would never allow someone like her to rise to power and actually solve the nation’s crises.
The controversy comes amid a dramatic shift in Greene’s political trajectory. After being one of Trump’s most vocal supporters, she recently broke with the president over issues including the handling of the U.S.–Israel relationship and the release of Justice Department files related to Jeffrey Epstein. Trump responded by publicly disowning Greene and withdrawing his support.
Greene announced last week that she will resign from Congress in January, citing her frustration with the party and her ongoing feud with Trump. Her resignation marks the end of her third term in the House, and she has said she is not motivated by power or titles.
Despite the denials, the speculation about a potential 2028 run has sparked debate among Republican insiders. Some believe that if Greene were to run, she could play a role similar to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in the 2024 election—siphoning votes from the GOP nominee and leveraging her influence for future political opportunities.
For now, Greene remains focused on her current role and has made clear that she has no intention of seeking the presidency.
“I would like to pass bills and appropriations for my current job,” she said, urging Congress to return to session.
As the 2028 election cycle approaches, the political landscape remains fluid, but Greene’s latest statements suggest she is not planning to enter the presidential race.
