Trump Escalates Feud With Marjorie Taylor Greene After GOP Win in Her Former Georgia Seat

The narrower GOP win is sharpening concerns about strain inside the MAGA coalition.

WASHINGTON, DC - FEBRUARY 12: Chair of the Subcommittee on Delivering On Government Efficiency (DOGE) U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-SC) presides over a hearing of the House Oversight Subcommittee in the Rayburn House Office Building on February 12, 2025 in Washington, DC. The subcommittee held a hearing titled “The War on Waste: Stamping Out the Scourge of Improper Payments and Fraud”.

Overview

  • Trump, in a Truth Social post Wednesday, mocked Greene as "Marjorie 'Traitor' Brown," called her "deranged," and said the district still carried her "stench."
  • Republican Clay Fuller won the special runoff to fill Greene's vacated U.S. House seat in Georgia, defeating Democrat Shawn Harris.
  • Unofficial returns cited by the Washington Post showed Fuller up by about 12 points, far below Greene's 29‑point win in 2024, which the paper framed as a warning for Republicans this fall.
  • Greene had broken with Trump and this week urged use of the 25th Amendment after he threatened to devastate Iran if it did not reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
  • MAGA‑aligned commenters on Truth Social urged Trump to drop the personal attacks and focus on policy issues like prices, immigration, and the release of Epstein‑related files.
