BREAKING: Marjorie Taylor Greene Reportedly Confides in Allies About 2028 Presidential Bid, Positioning Herself as ‘Real MAGA’ Heir

By Sophia Ramirez, National Political Correspondent

Washington, D.C. – November 6, 2025 – In a potential shake-up for the post-Trump Republican Party, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has privately told colleagues and allies that she is seriously considering a run for president in 2028, according to multiple sources familiar with her conversations. The Georgia firebrand, a staunch “America First” advocate, is framing herself as the authentic torchbearer of the MAGA movement, asserting that other prominent Republicans have “strayed” from its core principles.

The revelations, first reported by NOTUS on November 5, come from four sources, including one who has discussed the matter directly with Greene. One insider revealed that her talks emphasize her belief in being “real MAGA,” while confidently claiming she possesses “the national donor network to win the primary.” This ambition surfaces amid Greene’s recent high-profile media blitz and growing tensions with GOP leadership, signaling a deliberate reinvention to broaden her appeal beyond the hardcore base.

Greene, 51, has spent the past year cultivating a more national profile. Her appearances on CNN, ABC’s “The View,” HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher,” and comedian Tim Dillon’s podcast have drawn scrutiny from conservatives who view them as bids for crossover appeal. On Dillon’s show in October, she dodged direct questions about 2028, saying, “Oh my goodness. I hate politics so much… What I’m doing right now is I very much want to fix problems.” Yet sources insist her sights are set higher.

The timing aligns with Greene’s escalating clashes within her party. Once a vocal Trump defender, she has broken ranks on issues like healthcare subsidies, Epstein file releases, and foreign aid, earning praise from unlikely quarters—including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.). Critics, such as far-right influencer Laura Loomer, accuse her of plotting revenge after Trump reportedly blocked her Senate and gubernatorial ambitions in Georgia, even speculating she might run as a Democrat in 2028.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) weighed in during a livestream, claiming Trump quashed Greene’s Senate bid earlier this year, fueling her current rebellion. “Marjorie Taylor Greene wanted to run for Senate in Georgia… she wanted to be the Republican nominee,” AOC said, suggesting personal grudges drive her shifts.

Greene swiftly pushed back. In texts to NOTUS and statements to outlets like NewsNation and the Daily Mail, she dismissed the reports as “baseless rumors” and “gossip.” “This week it’s rumored I am running for President. I’m committed to one thing: serving the best district in the Nation, Georgia’s 14th,” she told the Daily Mail. On X, she blasted NOTUS as a “gossip blog” and insisted Congress should focus on work, not speculation.

Despite denials, the buzz has ignited online. X posts from supporters and detractors alike speculate on a Greene-Vance showdown, with some envisioning tickets like “MTG-Massie 2028.” Polls and pundits question her viability: A longtime polarizing figure—stripped of committees in 2021 for past conspiracies—Greene boasts massive name recognition and a loyal grassroots following, but her favorability hovers low nationally.

Analysts see strategic calculus. With Vice President JD Vance eyed as Trump’s heir apparent—Trump called a Vance-Rubio ticket “unstoppable”—Greene’s “real MAGA” pitch could splinter the base. Her donor claims underscore confidence; she’s raised millions through small-dollar contributions, outpacing many peers.

This isn’t Greene’s first flirtation with higher office. Rumors of Georgia gubernatorial or Senate runs fizzled after party pushback. Now, in Trump’s second term, the 2028 field remains fluid. Potential GOP contenders include Vance, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, and Sens. Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley. On the Democratic side, figures like California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer loom.

Greene’s evolution—from QAnon sympathizer to party outlier—mirrors Trump’s own disruptive path. Supporters hail her as unapologetic; detractors warn she risks alienating moderates. “She’s following the strategy of Trump 2015: talk about the stuff the base wants,” one observer noted.

If she launches, it could force a reckoning. Would “real MAGA” purists rally, or fracture the party? Fundraising will tell: Primaries reward early money, and Greene’s network—fueled by viral moments—could prove potent.

For now, Greene insists her focus is Congress. But in a White House race already whispering names, her denials ring familiar—like Trump’s 2015 coyness. As one source told NOTUS, people close to her “believe she cares about winning the ’28 election.”
