In a special election on Tuesday, the Democrats in Florida managed to flip the state legislative seat that represents the president’s Palm Beach estate, Mar-a-Lago, even though Trump won that district by double digits in 2024. Democrat Emily Gregory defeated a Trump-endorsed candidate.
Quick to react was former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who has decisively broken with the president in recent years and resigned her Congressional seat earlier this year.
“Turning your back on your campaign promises, and many disgusting behaviors like calling one of your top allies ‘traitor’ for releasing the Epstein files and refusing to go along with MIGA, apparently has consequences,” Greene said on X. “26 is gone but keep putting Americans last, and 28 will be too.”

Greene has gotten upset with Trump on several fronts, including his reluctance to release the Epstein files and the Iran war, which Greene strongly opposed.
Per the Daily Beast, the victory by Gregory “could be a sign of things to come for the Republican Party ahead of the midterm elections in November. While she won the district by just 2 points, the result marks a dramatic 21-point swing.”
“Greene dropped her MAGA pom-poms when Trump abandoned these campaign points to bomb Iran last June. The Department of Justice’s haphazard and evasive managing of the Epstein files compounded her position, nudging her into public critique of the president,” the Beast added.
Users of X had some strong reactions to what Greene said.
Correct! Amd then there will never be a Republican in the WH ever again. https://t.co/AHVd3KWXQs

White House spox told the Daily Beast: “Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene quit on her constituents and the America First movement in the middle of her term. President Trump is fighting every single day to Make America Great Again–we don’t have time for quitters.” https://t.co/fNy4nIQoNg
