MAGA Divide Deepens as Trump and Greene Clash Ahead of 2026 Midterms

President Donald Trump arrives and walks by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., to address a joint session of Congress at the Capitol in Washington, Tuesday, March 4, 2025.

Tensions within the Republican Party are escalating as former President Donald Trump and Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene publicly clash in the lead-up to the 2026 midterm elections. What began as subtle disagreements over strategy has now grown into a visible feud, highlighting fractures within the MAGA movement.

Greene, a vocal supporter of Trump in past cycles, has recently criticized his approach to candidate endorsements and party leadership, arguing that grassroots voices are being sidelined. Trump, in turn, has dismissed Greene’s criticisms, doubling down on his influence over the GOP and warning against what he sees as disloyalty within his base.

Political analysts suggest the rift could have significant consequences for Republican unity, particularly in battleground states where party cohesion is critical. While both figures maintain strong followings, their dispute underscores the challenges facing the GOP as it seeks to balance Trump’s dominance with rising voices in the movement.

The feud adds uncertainty to an already high-stakes election season, with Democrats watching closely for opportunities to exploit Republican divisions.
