Marjorie Taylor Greene Says Republicans Are Set To Lose The Midterms Due To Affordability Issues

Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said Republicans are set to lose the midterms next year, largely as a result of affordability issues in the country.

"I do believe at this time that Republicans will lose the midterms, and I think that's unfortunate," Greene said in an interview with CBS News.

She went on to take aim at Trump over his assessment of the economy. She rejected his claim that he gave the economy a "A+++++," saying he "needs to be aware that he's a billionaire president of the United States."

"You can't gaslight people and tell them that their bills are affordable, and you can't tell them that the economy is in A+++. You just can't do that, and I think it's insulting to people's intelligence," she added.

Elsewhere in the interview, Greene said she is "starting to feel very sorry for President Trump," adding that it is a "very poor reflection on him that he chooses to speak about me that way."

She then claimed that Trump's insults aimed at her could alienate female voters. "He always continues to speak about women like this, and that's something that women all over the country pay attention to," she added.

"I think the Republican Party needs to take a hard look at it, because the Republican Party has a very difficult time with women voting for them."

It is the latest round of the public fight between the former allies, which began as a result of Greene's insistence on releasing the Epstein files in contrast with the reluctance of the Trump administration.

Greene announced she will resign from her post in early January and has been taking aim at Trump since. The president has picked up the glove, most recently slamming her over her interview with CBS News' "60 Minutes" in which she said Republicans are "terrified" of him.
