With Tuesday’s elections now in the rear-view mirror, attention is turning to the midterms and beyond, and speculation is growing about who might throw their hat into the national ring come 2028.

Though conventional wisdom suggests that Vice President JD Vance is Donald Trump’s heir apparent and the GOP's next standard-bearer, the Daily Mail reports that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is hoping to enter the fray and mount her own run for the White House.

Presidential run planned?

According to the Mail, Greene, who has been in the midst of a reinvention of sorts in recent weeks, is not keeping her future plans secret.

The lawmaker, the outlet says, has already been telling those close to her that she hopes to launch a 2028 presidential campaign, believing that she has what it takes to succeed.

A source close to MTG revealed that the congresswoman thinks she is “real MAGA and that others have strayed” from the vision for the country previously outlined by Trump.

Not only that, Greene reportedly feels confident that she has the necessary “national donor network to win” the GOP presidential primary.

When asked about these alleged ambitions by the Mail, Greene did not offer a denial, saying in a statement, “Last week, it was rumored that I was planning to run for Governor of Georgia. This week it’s rumored I am running for President. I’m committed to one thing: serving the best district in the Nation, Georgia’s 14th.”

Transformation efforts afoot

Once a firebrand far-right player on the political scene known for staunch opposition to the liberal agenda, Greene has softened her tone of late, going so far as to appear on ABC’s The View last week, where she took a surprisingly conciliatory tone with the show’s often-critical co-hosts.

As Fox News noted, Greene attempted to find common ground and civility with the panel, thanking the left-leaning ladies for inviting her to discuss key issues of the day.

When asked by co-host Whoopi Goldberg about obstacles to free speech in political discourse these days, Greene said, “I want to say that I think that all of us here are doing a great job of exchanging our ideas and things that we believe in, and we’re doing it in a very professional and kind way and, in my opinion, I think we need more of that in America.

She added that “a lot of people wanted me to come on this show and say nasty things and, you know, all of us to fight. They wanted all of us to fight.”

Greene, long known for her unfiltered commentary, further shocked the hosts and the studio audience by saying, “I didn’t want to do that today, because I believe that people with powerful voices like myself and like you and especially women to women, we need to pave a new path.”

Sunny the skeptic

During their discussion, liberal co-host Sunny Hostin told Greene, “I’m sitting here just stumped. You know, because you are a very different person than I thought you were. It’s like you’re on the left now,” perhaps referencing the congresswoman’s recent stance in support of continued Obamacare subsidies.

However, during a subsequent episode of the talk show’s Behind the Table podcast, Hostin opined that Greene has not really changed in a substantive way and that her tempered approach is likely attributable to her apparent aspiration to higher office, perhaps putting the congresswoman at risk of alienating both the MAGA base that led her to prominence as well as the moderates she now appears to be courting.
