MTG Denies Time Magazine Report That She's Considering 2028 Presidential Run

In a post on X. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA)  is shutting down rumors of a possible 2028 presidential bid.

The Details: On Saturday, Time Magazine (Lean Left bias) reported that Greene privately told allies that she had considered a 2028 presidential run. Time cited "two people who have spoken with her directly about the prospect and three others familiar with her thinking" as its sources. The report has led to speculation about what Greene's political ambitions may be when she leaves Congress on January 5th. She has been an outspoken supporter of President Donald Trump until recently, when she criticized his handling of the U.S. relationship with Israel and called for Trump to push the Justice Department to release the files on Jeffrey Epstein over his initial objections.

Key Quote: "TIME claims 'sources' told them I'm running for President in 2028, which means this is a complete lie and they made it up because they can't even quote the names of the people who they claim said it." Greene wrote. "That's not journalism, it's called lying."

For Context: Greene recently announced that she would resign from Congress following criticism from President Donald Trump. She also said she received death threats earlier this month after Trump called her "far left" and a "traitor."

How The Media Covered It: Sources across the political spectrum reported how Greene's relationship with Trump led to her resignation. NewsNation (Center) called it an "online feud." The National Desk (Right) called it a "growing tension." Time called it a "dramatic rupture" in the relationship.
