Marjorie Taylor Greene Says Election Loss Was a Warning to Both Parties
Stocks sold off sharply after Tuesday's elections, and a prominent Trump critic within the former MAGA coalition says the chaos reflects deep uncertainty about the direction of the country, not just one bad news cycle.
- Wall Street had a rough day, with the Nasdaq nearly tripping circuit breakers amid worries over a possible Iran strike, bank troubles in Paraguay and Serbia, and general post-election jitters.
- Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Trump-aligned Republican who broke with him over the Iran war and the Epstein files, says the election losses were a deliberate backlash from voters who feel betrayed by both parties on the economy, cost of living, and foreign wars.
- Congress faces a packed 60 days: government funding expires in December, a possible impeachment push against Defense Secretary Hegseth is gaining signatures, and a defense spending bill tied to Israel is stalled in the Senate.
- She argues a new "America First" coalition — independent of both parties — could reshape 2028, but only if Democrats focus on affordability and avoid foreign wars rather than culture-war fights.
- She ruled out running for president herself.
Outlook: Expect continued market jitters and political infighting as Congress fights over funding, war policy, and the Epstein files before the new Congress is seated in January.
