Greene was also part of a group of Republican officials who challenged the results for 2021 Electoral College vote count and found no evidence of election or voter fraud.

Early life
Marjorie Taylor was born in Milledgeville, Georgia, on May 27, 1974.[5] She graduated from South Forsyth High School in Cumming, Georgia, in 1992.[6][7] She graduated from the University of Georgia with a Bachelor of Business Administration in 1996.[8]
Criticism of Trump
Greene was a supporter of Donald Trump and his movement during his first term as president, however she became more critical of him during his second term. In June 2025, Greene criticized Trump's support for Israeli strikes against Iran and was against the idea of the United States in the war.[9][10]
In November 2025, Greene began supporting the House of Representatives' discharge petition that would release the "Epstein Files" and criticized Trump for being against the database's release.[11] Since her disapproval of Trump over his handling of the Epstein Files, Greene has lost the support of Trump.[12] She has also started to oppose Trump by calling the war in Gaza a "genocide" and criticized Trump's efforts to increase deportations.[13] As a result of her arguing with Trump, she announced her resignation from Congress on January 5, 2026.[14][4]
