Representative the New York representative, that regularly sparred against the Georgia Republican, questioned the congresswoman's history concerning medical care and claimed the timing seemed carefully planned to coincide with congressional pension activation. Ocasio-Cortez stated: "The representative's actions didn't aligned with her rhetoric. With much the discourse, the congresswoman still aligned together with colleagues attempting to gut medical coverage."

Republican Responses
Kentucky conservative congressman Thomas Massie, that had previously made public stances opposing Donald Trump such as regarding the financier Epstein files release, wrote via X expressing he remained "quite sad for America yet very pleased regarding Marjorie Greene. I will miss her immensely."

Instead, the congresswoman joins previous opponents including Liz Cheney, Tennessee's Corker, Jeff Flake along with former Rep. Kinzinger through taking the exit.
Career Developments
