Marjorie Taylor Greene's district is in disbelief at her resignation announcement

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s resignation announcement sent a shock through her northwest Georgia district, even as people were monitoring her high-profile falling-out with President Donald Trump.

“It took me watching her resignation video for about 5 minutes to realize that it was not an AI-generated video — that’s how shocking it was for me,” said Ricky Hess, chairman of the Paulding County Republican Party. “And talking with everybody else, nobody saw this coming. I don’t know a single person who knew this was going to happen.”

Greene’s announcement Friday, which blindsided Republicans in Washington, is still reverberating in Georgia’s 14th Congressional District, which stretches from Atlanta’s northwestern suburbs to the Appalachian foothills bordering Tennessee. Hess noted it’s too early to tell who might run to replace Greene in part because Greene’s announcement was such a surprise that other well-known Republicans had not planned for a potential vacancy.

The ruby-red slice of Georgia spans a dozen counties, where a strong majority of voters were loyal both to Trump and Greene – at least until their remarkably public split this fall.
