Anti-trans Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) rocked the Capitol over the weekend by announcing her resignation from Congress, effective January 5. But Republican representatives have told reporters that hers might just be the first of many. More explosive early resignations are coming, an anonymous senior House Republican told Punchbowl News. Its a tinder box. Morale has never been lower. Mike Johnson will be stripped of his gavel and they will lose the majority before this term is out. Related Marjorie Taylor Greenes resignation shows that Trump & MAGA arent the same thing Greenes resignation came after the one-time Donald Trump loyalist had a string of continued disagreements with the president, largely over government spending and the release of the Epstein Files. After Trumpstarted name-callingand promised to endorse a primary challenger against her, Greene stepped away, leaving a manifesto of an explanation.My official statement. pic.twitter.com/x48zEugmPV Marjorie Taylor Greene (@mtgreenee) November 22, 2025 Insights for the LGBTQ+ community Subscribe to our briefing for insights into how politics impacts the LGBTQ+ community and more. Subscribe to our Newsletter today While lengthy, Greenes key message was that Trump and the Republicans arent following through on their priorities and were wasting what little majority they had in the House.According to the senior House Republican, those sentiments are common among all Republicans in the House, with many tired of the way Trump has treated them. That, reportedly, hasnt been helped by House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA). This entireWhite Houseteam has treated ALL members like garbage. ALL, the Republican said. And Mike Johnson has let it happen because he wanted it to happen. That is the sentiment of nearly all appropriators, authorizers, hawks, doves, rank and file. The arrogance of this White House team is off putting to members who are run roughshod and threatened. They dont even allow little wins like announcing small grants or even responding from agencies. Not even the high profile, the regular rank and file random members are more upset than ever. Members know they are going into the minority after the midterms.The thoughts from the anonymous source were bolstered by Dough Heye, a GOP strategist, who spoke about the situation on CNN. I wouldnt be surprised to see more resignations or retirement announcements come over the coming weeks or months when members of Congress spend time with their families back home. Obviously, theyve done that for several weeks during the shutdown, but Thanksgiving and Christmas, thats when we see those decisions get made.Ahead of Greenes January resignation, Republicans hold only 219 seats of the 435, while Democrats hold 213. Three seats are open pending special elections in Texas, Tennessee, and New Jersey, the earliest of which will take place in December and the last in April. While they have a technical majority at the moment, those elections could potentially leave the Republicans with only 218 seats, meaning a single dissenting vote could be enough to sink a bill. That situation gives more power to extreme members of their party, as well as to those inclined to turn against Trump.If more Republicans resign in protest, the Republican majority could disappear well before the midterms next year. Additionally, any other illnesses or deaths among House members could have significant implications. Even if a seat might be refilled by a Republican in a special election, the empty seat while that election is organized could stall the partys proceedings.Greene has hinted that she will be looking for a new path forward, which could easily still be in politics. Some believe Greene could be resigning to run for senator or Georgia governor, or even to run for president in 2028.Subscribe to theLGBTQ Nation newsletterand be the first to know about the latest headlines shaping LGBTQ+ communities worldwide.
