Former Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene says she is considering helping launch a new political party following her public split with the Republican Party, arguing that a movement focused on America rather than the existing two-party system could attract support from across the political spectrum.
Speaking during a Tuesday interview on “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” Greene said discussions are already underway about what such an effort could look like, though she acknowledged the significant obstacles involved in creating a viable third party.
“I think there’s a group of us that if we decide to align, we could launch a true America-focused party that doesn’t fall into the traps of Democrats or Republicans, but could align some serious players from the right and the left,” Greene said.
While expressing optimism about the concept, Greene stressed that building a new political organization would require patience and long-term commitment rather than producing immediate electoral success.
“I’m in talks” and having “serious conversations” about the possibility, Greene said, before noting that launching a third party is a difficult undertaking.
“It’s difficult to launch a third party, so the reality is this isn’t something that gets off the ground in just a couple of campaign cycles,” she told Morgan. “This is a movement that has to be developed and would take time to develop.”
Greene’s comments come after she publicly voiced support for former Fox News host Tucker Carlson following his announcement last month that he “would not support” the Republican Party in the upcoming midterm elections.
Responding to Carlson’s remarks at the time, Greene suggested that dissatisfaction with the Republican Party extends beyond the conservative commentator.
“Tucker is not the only one who is done supporting the Republican Party,” Greene wrote on social media.
Greene was previously viewed as a close ally of the Trump administration. However, the relationship deteriorated toward the end of her tenure in Congress. After President Trump publicly criticized Greene over her opposition to his administration’s policies and withdrew his endorsement, Greene announced she would resign from her House seat.
Carlson has also broken with the Trump administration after previously being regarded as one of the president’s strongest supporters. More recently, Carlson has criticized the administration over its military operations against Iran.
During Tuesday’s interview, Morgan asked Greene whether Carlson should consider seeking the presidency in 2028.
Greene said she has not discussed the possibility directly with Carlson but acknowledged that many people have been speculating about the idea.
“I haven’t had that direct conversation with Tucker. I know a lot of people are speculating that,” Greene said.
She argued that Carlson would present a significant challenge to both major political parties because of his ability to attract support from a broad coalition of voters.
“I can tell you right now, Tucker Carlson would be a great threat to both parties because there’s many Americans that are very independent that would support him, but there’s also Republican voters and Democrat voters that would support him,” Greene said. “So I would say he’s a very credible threat.”
Greene’s remarks underscore her continued criticism of the Republican Party while suggesting that conversations are taking place about a longer-term effort to establish a new political movement outside the nation’s traditional two-party system.
