Summary
In June 2026, former Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene from Georgia announced her departure from the Republican Party, expressing her dissatisfaction with its direction. She stated that she and many others were 'fed up' with the party, which she labeled as the 'America LAST Republican Party.' Greene's announcement came after a series of public disagreements with former President Donald Trump, whom she accused of betraying the America First movement. Following her exit from the GOP, Greene hinted at the possibility of forming a new political party alongside prominent figures such as Tucker Carlson, Rep. Thomas Massie, and Joe Kent. This group has been vocal critics of foreign wars, aligning themselves with a growing sentiment among conservatives who feel disillusioned with both major political parties. Greene emphasized the need for a party that focuses on America First principles, appealing to a broader audience across the political spectrum. She believes that by uniting like-minded individuals, they could create a viable alternative to the current political landscape, which she argues has failed to represent the interests of ordinary Americans. The discussions among Greene, Carlson, Massie, and Kent signal a potential shift in the political dynamics within the conservative movement, as they seek to establish a platform that prioritizes national interests over partisan politics.
