Farewell, MTG (for Now)
Marjorie Taylor Greene is quitting Congress in the middle of her latest term.
The Georgia congresswoman hasn't brought great credit to the institution, and her exit — abruptly, for purely political reasons — is par for the course.
The Georgia congresswoman had lost Trump's favor and was facing, if she didn't find a way to reconcile with the president, a potentially career-ending, Trump-endorsed primary challenge. It's understandable that she didn't want that fight, but simply announcing that she wasn't going to run again would have sufficed. Instead, she's quitting on the people who thought they elected her to represent them in Congress for a two-year term and making Speaker Mike Johnson's job marginally more difficult during the gap between her resignation on January 5 and a special election.
