US Congressman Marjorie Taylor Greene announced her departure from Congress on January 5, 2026. Her shocking decision came amid deteriorating relations with Donald Trump, whom she had supported for many years until files on Jeffrey Epstein were released.
«I will step down, my last day will be January 5, 2026», - Greene wrote in her public statement on November 21, 2025. «Defending American women who were raped at 14, trafficked, and used by wealthy, influential men should not lead to being called a traitor and threatened by the President of the United States, whom I fought for».
In her lengthy statement, Greene pointed to several instances where she actively supported Trump, his election campaign, and his «MAGA» slogan. She also acknowledged numerous occasions when she «fiercely opposed» her own party.
«No matter which way the political pendulum swings, Republican or Democrat, nothing improves for the average American man or woman», - Greene continued. «Debt is mounting. Corporate and global interests remain Washington’s darlings. American jobs continue to be replaced, whether by illegal labor, visa labor, or simply moved overseas. Small businesses continue to be swallowed up by large corporations».
In light of her career change, learn about Greene’s current net worth and more about her next steps after leaving Congress.
In her statement, Greene noted that she decided to step down because she has «too much self-respect and dignity, love my family too much, and do not want my dear district to endure a sick and hateful primary battle against me by the President we all fought for, only to fight and win in the elections, while Republicans likely lose in the midterm elections. And in turn, I am expected to defend the President from impeachment after he hatefully poured tens of millions of dollars against me and tried to destroy me».
Originally from Georgia, representing the state’s 14th congressional district since 2021, Greene also criticized Congress for the government shutdown extension in 2025, which lasted for 43 days.
«During the longest shutdown in our nation’s history, I fiercely opposed my speaker and my own party for failing to work proactively and diligently to adopt a plan to save American healthcare and protect Americans from excessively expensive and unaffordable insurance policies», - Greene added. «The House should have been in session, working every day to fix this mess, but instead America was once again forced to swallow disgusting political drama from all sides».
According to Go Banking Rates, Greene’s current net worth is around $ 25 million. Previously, her net worth was around $ 700,000.
Greene’s salary in Congress was about $ 174,000 per year, according to Business Insider, but her book royalties and other ventures contributed to her high net worth. In her financial report in August 2025, Greene stated that she earned $ 178,229.99 in 2024 from royalties for a book from her autobiography publisher, Winning Team Publishing.
The Republican did not disclose whether she has a new job or another goal in politics. Instead, Greene plans to return «to the people I love, live life to the fullest, as always, and look forward to a new path ahead»
