Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., has decided to take an early vacation from her congressional duties, leaving her GOP colleagues fuming over missed votes.

This week, Greene skipped every single House vote, a move that has tightened the already slim Republican majority and sparked sharp criticism from fellow conservatives who expected her to show up until her announced resignation.

On Nov. 21, 2024, Greene declared her intention to resign from Congress on Jan. 5, 2025, just after crossing the five-year mark to secure a congressional pension.

Greene's Exit Plan Sparks Controversy

She had also mentioned stepping down after Thanksgiving, expressing frustration with the Washington establishment and a desire to walk away from the political grind.

While her dissatisfaction with D.C. politics is something many conservatives can sympathize with, her decision to ghost the House floor has left a sour taste among those who rely on every vote.

With the GOP’s razor-thin majority, Speaker Mike Johnson’s wiggle room on key legislation shrinks from three dissenting Republican votes to just two when Democrats stand united against them.

Colleagues Voice Disappointment Over Absence

Some House Republicans aren’t holding back their irritation, pointing out that Greene still has a responsibility to her constituents until her official exit.

“Someone who runs for an office and promises their constituents two years of service ought to serve those two years. But that's her choice,” said Rep. Andy Harris, R-Md.

Now, isn’t that a polite way of saying, “Do your job”? Harris nails the core conservative value of accountability, something Greene seems to have misplaced on her way out the door.

Tensions Rise Within GOP Ranks

Greene’s history of clashing with House GOP leadership and even President Donald Trump hasn’t helped smooth over this latest controversy.

Rep. Randy Fine, R-Fla., who’s previously butted heads with Greene over policy on Israel, didn’t mince words about her departure. “I'm glad she's leaving. Good riddance. I just wish she'd get it over with,” Fine said.

That’s a zinger with a side of frustration, and it’s hard not to see Fine’s point—why drag out the inevitable when your heart’s clearly not in the fight for conservative causes anymore?

Impact on GOP Strategy and Votes

Newsmax reached out to Greene’s office for an explanation of her no-show, but they’ve yet to respond, leaving everyone guessing about her whereabouts this week.

Greene’s absence isn’t just a personal choice; it’s a strategic headache for a party that can’t afford to lose even a single vote on major bills in a divided Congress.

For now, the GOP is left to navigate this self-inflicted wound, hoping Greene reconsiders her early checkout or at least offers her constituents a clear reason for stepping back before her time is up.
