Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) said Thursday she fears President Trump may use the war in Iran to try to cancel the 2028 presidential election.
Greene, who resigned from Congress in January after a public falling-out with the president, was once a loyal MAGA ally and one of Trump s fiercest defenders. Her frustrations over the conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine as well as the administration s handling of files related to the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein caused a rift in their once-strong relationship.
In an interview with conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, another former MAGA loyalist, Greene pointed to comments Trump made during a 2025 meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Elections in Ukraine were postponed because of the ongoing war with Russia.
