Marjorie Taylor Greene Proposes Cross-Party Party to Split GOP
7/2/2026, 12:11:52 AM
Greene’s New Party Proposal
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene announced on Piers Morgan’s “Uncensored” that she is exploring a “true America-focused party” outside the Democratic and Republican establishments. She said a coalition of “serious players from the right and the left” could be formed, but warned that launching a viable third party would take time and could not be achieved within a single election cycle.
Break with the MAGA Movement and Resignation
Greene, 52, left Congress in January after a clash with former President Donald Trump over the Epstein Files Transparency Act and his policies on Iran. Since resigning, she has called the MAGA movement a “lie,” urged that the Republican Party be dismantled, and labeled Trump a “traitor” in televised interviews.
Key Figures, Potential Recruit, and Timeline
Greene has cited former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, now an anti-Trump podcaster, as a potential recruit, noting that Carlson could pose a significant challenge to both parties. The public timeline includes: January 2024 – resignation; April 2024 – call to “burn” the GOP; May 2024 – party concept on Piers Morgan; June 2024 – Carlson comment on X.
Official Statements & Responses
The White House, via spokesman Davis Ingle, dismissed Greene’s plan as abandonment, saying quitting betrays constituents and the MAGA movement. Greene replied that launching a third party is difficult and unlikely to succeed within a single campaign cycle.
Criticism & Opposition
The White House labeled Greene a “quitter,” calling her departure a betrayal of the MAGA base. Media outlets have described her effort as a “revenge bid” aimed at fracturing the Republican coalition, noting that without broad institutional backing the initiative may remain symbolic.
Conflicting Reports & Gaps
Details on funding, structure, or a launch timetable are absent, leaving the venture’s feasibility uncertain.
Verbatim Quotes
- “I think there’s a group of us that if we decide to align, we could launch a true America-focused party that doesn’t fall into the traps of Democrats or Republicans,” — Marjorie Taylor Greene, former congresswoman
- “There is nothing more ‘America Last’ than quitting on your constituents and the MAGA movement in the middle of your term. President Trump is fighting every single day to Make America Great Again – we don’t have time for quitters,” — Davis Ingle, White House spokesman
- “Tucker Carlson would be a great threat to both parties,” — Marjorie Taylor Greene
Potential Impact
If Greene attracts high-profile figures, the effort could draw moderate voters from both parties and alter the 2024 midterm landscape. Failure to build a broad coalition would likely reinforce the two-party system and marginalize Greene’s influence.
What’s Next
Greene said further “serious conversations” are underway, with a formal announcement expected later this year, though no specific timetable has been provided.
