She expressed respect for her constituents and a desire for them to choose their representative without her influence.Greene cited meaningful disagreements with Republican leadership and a growing rift with former President Donald Trump over the future direction of the MAGA movement as reasons for her resignation. A special election to fill her seat is expected to be held in March, with several candidates already considering runs, including conservative influencer CJ pearson, GOP state Senator Colton Moore, and democrat retired Army Brig. Gen. Shawn Harris. Trump publicly withdrew his endorsement of Greene amid their split but acknowledged she is a nice person and expressed hope she could revive her political career, tho he suggested it would be challenging.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Greene declines to endorse successor as battle to fill House seat takes shape<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2410745\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Rep. <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/marjorie-taylor-greene\/\">Marjorie Taylor Greene<\/a> (R-GA) on Monday announced that she would not endorse a candidate to replace her in the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/section\/news\/house\/\">House<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Looking ahead towards the Special Election for my Congressional seat, I will not be endorsing anyone out of respect to my district,&rdquo; she said in <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/mtgreenee\/status\/1993081407418118423\">a statement<\/a>, days after declaring her<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3895734\/marjorie-taylor-greene-resigns-congress\/\"> shock resignation<\/a> from Congress, effective in January.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/congressional\/3898090\/democrats-push-minority-rural-voters-investment-program\/\">Democrats look to reverse GOP gains with minority and rural voters in eight-figure buy<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/congressional\/3897670\/greene-record-congressional-departures-2026\/\">&#8216;Disrespected and unprotected&#8217;: Dozens of lawmakers are heading for the exits early<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3893884\/democrats-slam-trump-post-call-punishable-death-elected-officials\/\">Democrats slam Trump&#8217;s &#8216;seditious behavior&#8217; post as a call for the &#8216;execution of elected officials&#8217;<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>&ldquo;I truly support the wonderful people of Georgia 14 and want them to pick their Representative,&rdquo; the Georgia lawmaker added. &ldquo;So anyone claiming they have my endorsement would not be telling the truth.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Greene cited<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/3884855\/marjorie-taylor-greene-america-only-values-trump-criticism\/\"> deep disagreements <\/a>with Republican leadership as the basis for choosing to resign.
