Ocasio-Cortez says Trump shut down Greene's Senate ambitions, spurring 'revenge tour'

On Monday, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) revealed that President Trump had thwarted Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-Ga.) aspirations for a Senate seat, leading to some friction between Greene and the White House.

During an Instagram live session, Ocasio-Cortez shared some insight: “Here’s some tea for you. MTG’s recent comments have people puzzled, wondering why she’s suddenly opposing Trump and the administration.”

The New York congresswoman explained, “Greene had her sights set on a Senate run in Georgia earlier this year. She aimed to become the Republican nominee, but Trump put a stop to those plans.”

According to Ocasio-Cortez, “Trump’s refusal, along with the administration’s dismissal, quashed Greene’s Senate ambitions, prompting her to embark on what seems like a personal vendetta.”

Back in May, Greene declared she would not challenge incumbent Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.) in the upcoming Georgia Senate race.

“Even with a few good Republicans in the Senate, nothing changes. So no, Jon Ossoff isn’t the real problem. He’s just a vote. A pawn. No different than the Uniparty Republicans who skip key votes to attend fundraisers and let our agenda fail,” Greene said in a post on the social platform X at the time.

Greene has said she’s accepted President Trump might not love her in return due to her recent criticism of her party.

“I do love him,” Greene said, talking about the president, on “The View” on Tuesday.

Greene has also said her party is going to lose the lower chamber of Congress if the cost of living does not go down. The Georgia Republican said she could not “see into the future, but I see Republicans losing the House if Americans are continuing to go paycheck-to-paycheck” in an interview with Semafor published last month.

“They’ll definitely be going into the midterms looking through the lens of their bank account,” she added.

The Hill has reached out to the White House and Greene’s office for comment.
