Vance or Rubio? Check out Trump’s impromptu 2028 poll at the White House.
At a dinner in the Rose Garden, President Donald Trump asked guests to choose between J.D. Vance and Marco Rubio as their 2028 candidates.
Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has remained in the political spotlight for months since her volatile public break with President Trump and her eventual resignation from the U.S. House of Representatives.
The race to replace Greene pitted a Trump-backed district attorney against a veteran Democrat, with a special election won by MAGA warrior Clay Fuller, but Sean Harris had the best performance of any Democrat in the area in recent memory.
Harris pointed to the “Marjorie Taylor Greene effect” in northwest Georgia, saying she represents a real (and growing) division on the American political right.
Once considered the matriarch of the MAGA movement, Greene has continued to speak out on social media and in public against issues such as the handling of the Epstein file, the Iran war and the price crisis, deepening the rift between her and Trump’s policy agenda.
Her comments have sparked anger among people close to President Trump, most recently from right-wing celebrity Laura Loomer over the sale of Greene’s home in Rome, Georgia.
Green sells Rome home for $1.1 million
Floyd County property records show the home previously owned by Green and her ex-husband Perry went up for sale earlier this year.
The property, located on Rome’s southwest side, was sold on March 19 for $1.1 million. The home has more than 5,000 sqft and is located on a lot of 10.64 acres.
The home was built in 1964 and purchased by Green and her then-husband in 2020 for $610,000. The front of the house has large white columns, not unlike those of the White House, and red brick leading to the driveway. Images of the home’s interior were not available in the online listing.
Green has previously shared videos from the facility on social media.
Mr Green said his home had been “knocked down” many times during his time as a councillor, including once on Christmas morning.
‘Swatting’ refers to a type of criminal hoax in which someone calls emergency services falsely claiming there is a threat of violence in a particular location.
According to ABC News, a “whack” at Ms. Green’s home in Rome collided with the vehicle of a bomb squad member who was responding to a call, killing the woman.
“I’m heartbroken right now,” Green said in a post on X following the 2024 crash. “These violent political threats have deadly consequences and are an undue burden on law enforcement, which should be taken seriously. The officer was responding to protect my life, and now a woman has lost her life to this despicable act.”
Loomer accuses Green of selling house to flee US
On May 11, Laura Loomer, a conservative politician and self-styled investigative journalist, accused Greene of trying to flee the country after selling his Rome property.
“Sources say MTG sold her home in Rome, Georgia and moved to Costa Rica with (Bryan Glenn). All that insider trading definitely paid off. She just posted a photo of her new home in Costa Rica on Instagram. She abandoned her constituents and fled the country,” Loomer wrote on X.
She attached a screenshot of Green’s May 11 photo of a tropical landscape with the caption, “I’m so grateful to be starting this next chapter with (Brian Glenn).”
Glenn and Green, a conservative journalist and media personality, got engaged in December 2025.
Mr. Loomer went on to claim that Mr. Green is currently living in a $5 million estate in Costa Rica.
“This is proof that she always intended to leave Congress. She just used President Trump as a scapegoat to abandon her voters and flee the country,” Loomer wrote to X. “Does this mean she’s a foreigner now?”
Green says “Larry the liar is at it again.”
Greene cited Trump’s habit of giving derogatory nicknames to opponents (such as “Marjorie Traitor Greene”) and responded to Loomer’s accusations by saying “Larry the Liar is at it again.”
“No wonder they won’t give her a hard pass from the White House to join the WH press corps. Liar Larry is not a journalist,” Greene said in a post on X. “Thankfully and proudly, my wealth and assets are the result of many years of hard work in my family’s construction business before running for Congress.”
Greene also denied allegations of insider trading and said all of her finances are legally reported through the FEC. She said she was “making no apologies” for her financial success through what she called the “American Dream” and that Mr. Loomer was “ashamed of his wealth.”
He also noted that he signed an expulsion petition against a bill in Congress to block stock trading, which he said was “popular” but was not brought to the floor for a vote.
“Oh, I’m 100% a proud American living in Georgia!” said Ms. Green. “And as for Costa Rica, yes, Brian and I love it! It’s a beautiful country full of beautiful people! We love traveling all over the world, so we share lots of photos and videos!”
