Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who announced her intention to resign from Congress on Friday, is refuting rumors that she's pursuing a presidential run in 2028. CBS News congressional correspondent Nikole Killion has the latest.

Washington

Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has publicly denied speculation that her upcoming resignation from Congress is tied to plans to run for president. Greene announced she would step down in January, stating on social media that she has never intended to seek the presidency and dismissed such rumors as unfounded.

Greene cited threats against her and the impact on her family as key reasons for her decision, while also noting disagreements with the president on certain issues. She maintained her support for 'America first' policies and pushed back against claims that declining poll numbers or a desire to avoid a primary challenge were primary motivations for her resignation.

Greene refutes rumors that she may run for president after resignation

Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene is denying reports that her resignation from Congress is because she is planning to run for president. Over the weekend, as we just told you, Greene announced that she will resign from Congress in January. She also wrote on social media, quote, I'm not running for president and never said I wanted to. And I've only laughed about it when anyone would mention it. I'm not motivated by power and titles. Let's bring in CBS News Congressional Correspondent Nicole Killian. All right, Nicole, first off, let me ask you if the president of the United States has reacted to Marjorie Taylor Greene's resignation. Yeah, well, he did respond over the weekend, both on truth social and talking to reporters. And he said, look, you know, he doesn't see a need to forgive her. He was asked if he's going to forgive Marjorie Taylor Greene. He said, forgive her for what, but went on to say that, you know, he simply has a disagreement with her with respect to philosophy. And also, as you see there in that truth social post, he believes that she is stepping down in part because of what he says are plummeting poll numbers. Now, that is something that Marjorie Taylor Greene pushed back against in her video announcement that was released late Friday, where she said that she believes that she could win if she were primaried. But that was her concern. She didn't want, in her words, her sweet district to have to go through a primary challenge. But she did insist that she would likely win that if she did. So, at the end of the day, look, this was a difficult decision for Marjorie Taylor Greene. She's obviously endured a number of threats, not only because of her rift with the president, but even predating that. And she said the toll that that was taking on her family was certainly something that troubled her as well. But she continues to stand by what she says are America first policies, policies that have been supportive of the president, even though, at the end of the day, she disagrees with him on a number of issues, whether that's the Epstein files or other matters. And yet, Nicole, you have covered Congress for a number of years. I've been in this game a long time. There are some who are suggesting that this is an attempt by Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene to get ahead of the field of potential candidates for the 2028 nomination, the Republican nomination for the presidency. And so I wonder if you've heard from other members of Congress about that, speculating about that. And I also wonder if part of the decision to resign from Marjorie Taylor Greene had to do with the release of the Epstein files. Well, look, I think she pushed back pretty forcefully over the weekend after a report was circulating that she was considering a potential presidential run in 2028. She said she is not running for president, even suggested that the notion of that was laughable. But, look, what I can tell you in terms of being outside of her office just about a week ago is that she was not doing any interviews or talking to press, besides, obviously, she spoke to CBS mornings. But shortly thereafter, she did not speak to any of the Capitol Hill press corps, which is unusual for her because usually she almost always has something to say when you approach her in the halls. But look, these threats against her were pretty real. I think that certainly was a factor. And again, she said that she just simply doesn't want to continue to stay in this role after fighting for the president if he ultimately was going to try to primary her, which is something he threatened in addition to pulling his endorsement from her. All right. We'll see what happens. Nicole Killian for us on The Hill. Thank you, Nicole.
