Greene warned on CNN’s The Source that Donald Trump’s hold on the Republican Party appears to be loosening and predicted Republicans could face a poor showing in the 2026 midterm elections after she first warned that "the dam is breaking" following a string of defections.She cited 13 House Republicans who voted to overturn Trump’s executive order on federal workers, pointed to Indiana Republicans who rejected a Trump-backed redistricting plan, and said "the midterms are going to be very hard for Republicans," adding that Trump's characterization of Rob Reiner as "deranged" after the reported killings was "completely below the office."Once among Trump’s most ardent backers, Greene said she now strongly disagrees with several of his actions, confirmed plans to retire from Congress in January, and said she expects more Republicans to put local campaigns ahead of party unity as 2026 campaigning begins; she also discussed her engagement to
Brian Glenn and said any celebration would likely be small.
