Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene Denies Presidential Bid, Cites Reasons for Leaving Congress
In a post on X, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia has denied reports that she's considering running for president in the 2028 cycle, further solidifying her decision to leave Congress next January.
Greene, who has been at odds with President Trump over recent months, previously expressed frustration with his party and announced plans to resign from Congress in January. Her latest comments came after an article from Time reported that she had considered running for president.
"I'm not running for President and never said I wanted to and have only laughed about it when anyone would mention it," Greene stated on X. "Running for President requires traveling all over the country, begging for donations all day every day, arguing political talking points until exhaustion, destroying your health and having no personal life – this is exactly why I would never do it."
Greene emphasized that she's not motivated by power or titles, and believes that the Political Industrial Complex has destroyed America. "The fact that I'd have to go through all that but be totally blocked from truly fixing anything is exactly why I would never do it," she said.
Her decision to leave Congress comes after months of vocal opposition to Republican leaders' handling of healthcare, affordability, and government shutdowns. Despite facing pressure from her party to back down on the Epstein files issue, Greene remained steadfast in her support for their release.
Greene's departure from Congress has sparked speculation about potential future ambitions, but she's now made it clear that a presidential bid is off the table – at least for now.

I'm glad Marjorie Taylor Greene is sticking to what she believes in and not chasing after power 
She's been making waves with her views on healthcare, affordability, and government shutdowns, and it's awesome that she's still passionate about speaking truth to those in power 
Although it might be weird for some fans of hers (I get why 
), her decision to leave Congress is a great example of someone prioritizing their values over ambition 
. And honestly, I can kinda see why she'd want to pass on that. I mean, politics is already stressful enough as it is, but running for office? That's like a whole different level of crazy 
. 
It's not like she's saying she hates the idea of helping people or making a difference. She just knows that as a member of Congress, she can actually make some tangible changes without all the extra baggage that comes with being in the spotlight 
.
But hey, I'm not gonna lie – seeing someone who's been vocal about their frustrations and is actually willing to take a stand for what they believe in? That's kinda refreshing 
.
... but like, only if she promises to never travel anywhere or talk to anyone again 
. The thought of her "arguing political talking points until exhaustion" sounds super healthy for the country 
But at the same time, I'm like totally on board with the idea that she's only in it for the drama and not actually trying to make a difference 
. And honestly, can we just talk about how refreshing it is that she's not motivated by power or titles? Like, yeah no thanks to all that 
... except maybe having the title of "Leader of the Free World" would be kinda cool 
.
. Just saw Marjorie Taylor Greene say no to the presidency and I'm reminded of how hard it must be to even make a statement without getting roasted 
. And honestly, I kinda feel bad for her considering all the drama she's been through with Trump and everyone else in the party. 
. Can't we just have a decent conversation without being judged? Anyway, it sounds like Greene is standing firm on not wanting the spotlight, which I can respect 
. Maybe she'll find her true purpose outside of politics and I won't have to scroll through all these news articles about her 
I'm kinda surprised she'd deny it this early on... seems like an easy way to avoid scrutiny and keep her options open if she changes her mind later 
It's always fascinating (or terrifying) to see how people justify staying in office when they're not re-elected. Greene seems like someone who genuinely wants to shake things up, but maybe she'll find a more effective way to do it than by stepping out of the spotlight for now 
She's actually saying she's good with just living a normal life, no drama or stress involved... sounds like a pretty great goal to me! 
like she makes some legit points about the political industrial complex & all but then again it's just another way to get more attention & publicity 
anyway i'm good w/ her leaving congress & all - can we pls focus on some actual solutions instead of just ppl running for office 4 the sake of running? 
oh girl, i think marjorie taylors greene is totally right about not running for president! like, can you even imagine having to travel all around and deal with constant drama? 
idk, but i do think she's being super authentic about not wanting the power and all that jazz 
. Like, Marjorie Taylor Greene was already leaving Congress next Jan and then she comes out and says "oh no, I wouldn't ever run for president"? Yeah right 
The fact that she's already saying no to the presidency is kinda refreshing, you know? Maybe now she can focus on what really matters: being a voice for the people and making actual change in her own district 
meanwhile, we need to stop speculating about her future plans and focus on what actual policy changes she'll bring to the table. btw, does anyone have a source for these presidential bid rumors from time?
