Marjorie Taylor Greene Fires Back at Presidential Bid Rumors, Calls Running for Office 'Impractical and Unthinkable'
US Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has dismissed reports that she's considering a run for the presidency in 2028. The Georgia Republican made the statement on X following an article by Time magazine suggesting she was weighing her options.
Greene stated she had "laughed about" presidential ambitions when mentioned to others, saying it was not something she wanted or would ever pursue. Her comments came after announcing plans to leave Congress in January, citing her frustration with her party and its handling of issues such as healthcare and the government shutdown.
When questioned about why she wouldn't consider running for president despite being a vocal critic of Republican leadership, Greene argued that it requires "traveling all over the country" and raising hundreds of millions of dollars, which she said would be detrimental to her health and personal life. She also stated that the system is "broken" and that politicians are more focused on gaining power than solving problems.
Greene's decision to leave Congress has sparked speculation about a potential presidential bid, but she insists it's not something she's considering. For Greene, who has been a stalwart ally of former President Donald Trump, this move represents a significant departure from her previous role as a conservative firebrand in the US House of Representatives.
In contrast to some Republican politicians, Greene remains committed to releasing sensitive documents related to the late Jeffrey Epstein, which had sparked controversy within the party. Her decision to leave Congress marks an uncharacteristic shift for someone who has built a reputation on being a fierce advocate for conservative causes.

anyway idk what to make of her comments on the whole system being broken thing...sounds kinda true tbh. but at the same time its like, why wouldnt you wanna try and shake things up from the inside? still intrigued by this whole leaving congress thing tho, maybe she's onto something with that one 
. and lol, 'impractical and unthinkable' is like her telling everyone what she thinks without even trying to hide it 
. dont get me wrong, i think its cool that she's leaving congress cuz honestly, that party can be super toxic sometimes 
. but presidential run? idk, maybe shes just not cut out for it... or maybe shes just tryna stir up drama 
. what do u guys think tho? should we keep an eye on her? 
. She's been building up her image as this firebrand, super passionate about conservatives causes and now she just says it's impractical? Like what does she know, has she ever run a campaign or even worked with politicians? The way she talks about the system being broken is kinda on point tho 
. Can't they just make it easier to comment on articles without having to wade through so much noise? Like, can't we just have a simple like system or something? 
And don't even get me started on the notification spam 
. It's like they're trying to distract us from the actual content of the article. I swear, if Marjorie Taylor Greene wants to comment about her presidential aspirations, she should just use Twitter or TikTok or whatever it is that younger people use 
i mean we know she's got some wild views but this? no thanks 
i feel bad for trump tho, if he's got one last shot at the presidency it should be someone more sane 
and let's be real who would wanna watch a congressional firebrand try to run the country
