Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has urged her successor not to <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >show blind loyalty<\/a> to the White House or Republican leadership, emphasizing that the new representative should prioritize serving the people of the district. Greene, who is resigning effective January 5, 2026, responded to a potential candidate&#8217;s comment that they would not be &#8220;like MTG&#8221; by defending her record, including her efforts to push for clarity by signing a discharge petition to release jeffrey Epstein-related files and forcing a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/no-christmas-present-for-you-gop-lawmakers-defy-president-trump-as-2000-checks-for-all-americans-fails-thanks-to-pelosis-tricks\/\" title=\"No Christmas Present for You! \u2013 GOP Lawmakers Defy President ... as ,000 Checks for All Americans FAILS \u2013 Thanks to Pelosi\u2019s Tricks\">house vote<\/a> to impeach former Homeland Security secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. She criticized the idea of being a &#8220;yes man&#8221; for Trump or party leaders, especially when it involves ignoring serious allegations or protecting elites. Greene won her seat in 2020 without trump&#8217;s endorsement by running on representing her constituents instead of the Washington establishment.Among those running to replace her is Georgia state Sen. Colton Moore, a trump ally. The special election will be held soon after Greene&#8217;s resignation, as required by Georgia law.  <\/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\">MTG tells her successor not to &lsquo;bow in loyalty&rsquo; to White House and GOP<\/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_2450117\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Outgoing Rep. <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3912133\/marjorie-taylor-greene-says-she-feels-sorry-for-trump\/\">Marjorie Taylor Greene<\/a> (R-GA) took another veiled shot at President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4135173\/democrats-problem-trump-delivers-on-economy-concha\/\">Donald Trump<\/a> and Republican leadership on Sunday, saying the next lawmaker in her seat needs to represent &ldquo;the people.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Greene is resigning from her seat on Jan. 5, 2026, with a special election being held to replace her shortly after.
