Following a caustic break with President Donald Trump, one of his biggest former backers claims to have left the Republican Party and is plotting the creation of a new political party to compete with MAGA, per The Hill.<\/p>\n

Marjorie Taylor Greene, the former GOP congresswoman from Georgia, initially made her name in politics as an outspoken \u2014 and often outlandish \u2014 supporter of Trump and his MAGA political agenda. As his second term wore on, however, she became much more critical of his actions, and finally broke with him completely amid the Epstein files scandal, resigning from Congress early at the start of this year.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, The Hill reported on recent comments from Greene in which she teased out plans for her political future. She made headlines and waves in recent weeks after she, alongside ex-Fox News host Tucker Carlson, declared that she was done with the GOP and would not be working to support it in the upcoming midterm elections. Now, she claims to be “in talks” about creating a new “true America-focused” political party, and while the discussions are “serious,” she also has not illusions about the difficulty of successfully launching a third party option.<\/p>\n

“I think there\u2019s a group of us that if we decide to align, we could launch a true America-focused party that doesn\u2019t fall into the traps of Democrats or Republicans, but could align some serious players from the right and the left,” Greene said in an interview this week with Piers Morgan.<\/p>\n

She added: \u201cIt\u2019s difficult to launch a third party, so the reality is this isn\u2019t something that gets off the ground in just a couple of campaign cycles. This is a movement that has to be developed and would take time to develop.\u201d <\/p>\n

Greene made her feelings known about supporting the GOP in a post to X last week, directly responding to Carlson’s own declaration. <\/p>\n

“Tucker is not the only one who is done supporting the Republican Party. There [are] A LOT of us that are absolutely fed up and will not support a party that betrays its voters and country,” Greene posted. “That does not mean we are turning into Democrats either. But we are DONE with the America LAST Republican Party.”<\/p>\n

Speaking more on the matter with Morgan, Greene conceded that Carlson would be a formidable future candidate for president, while noting that she has not had direct discussions with him about the idea.<\/p>\n

\u201cI haven\u2019t had that direct conversation with Tucker,” Greene said. “I know a lot of people are speculating that, and I can tell you right now, Tucker Carlson would be a great threat to both parties because there\u2019s many Americans that are very independent that would support him, but there\u2019s also Republican voters and Democrat voters that would support him. So I would say he\u2019s a very credible threat.\u201d<\/p>\n
