Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) attributed her party’s lackluster performance in Tuesday night’s elections to Republicans’ failure to follow through on their promises to voters.
“Politics is no different than business,” Greene wrote in a post on the social platform X on Wednesday.
“Business 101: If you don’t deliver what you promise, then don’t expect return customers,” she continued.
Democrats swept in key races across the country on election night Tuesday. In Virginia and New Jersey, voters elected former Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-Va.) and Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-N.J.) as their respective governors. In New York City, residents rallied behind the Democratic nominee, democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani, to be their new mayor.
And in California, voters backed Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D) mid-decade redistricting push that would give the Democratic Party the chance to pick up as many as five more seats in next year’s midterm elections.
Greene, a staunch supporter of President Trump’s MAGA agenda, has broken with her party on key issues in recent months, as she’s criticized congressional leaders for failing to actualize on priorities for voters, like addressing the high cost of living and staving off a potential health care premium hike.
Greene predicted last month that Republicans would lose the House if they don’t make life cheaper for their constituents.
“I can’t see into the future, but I see Republicans losing the House if Americans are continuing to go paycheck-to-paycheck,” she told Semafor in an October interview.
In an interview Tuesday on ABC’s “The View,” Greene pushed back on the suggestion that the election later that day should be considered a referendum on Trump and the Republicans’ agenda.
“So in 2024, Kamala Harris won Virginia. Kamala Harris won New Jersey. And Kamala Harris won New York — of course Democrats of course won New York,” she said Tuesday. “So I think this election is actually a referendum on where is the Democrat Party.”
In the Tuesday interview, she also insisted she still loves the president and that “nothing has changed about me,” despite her growing criticism of her party.
“I am staying absolutely, 100 percent true to the people that voted for me, and true to my district,” she said on Tuesday.
“Here’s something you all may not know about me: I think a lot of people on the left are learning that when I ran for Congress in 2020, I ran criticizing Republicans and Democrats equally, because I come from a working-class family,” she told “The View” hosts.
“And I represent a district that is a rural, manufacturing district — blue-collar workers and people have been crushed by decades of failure in Washington, D.C. — and so I have no problem pointing fingers at everyone,” Greene said.
