Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia expressed her disapproval of former President Donald Trump’s recent demand that one of the two remaining candidates in the Texas Republican Senate primary drop out after he endorses a candidate, according to reports.
Greene’s comments come as Trump announced he would endorse either Sen. John Cornyn or Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in the race. She criticized the former president for interfering in the primary race, though specific remarks from Greene were not detailed in the reports.
Trump’s involvement has intensified tensions within the Texas Republican Party, which is already closely watched ahead of the upcoming election. The primary race remains competitive, with candidates vying for the GOP nomination.
It is unclear whether Greene’s criticism will impact her relationship with Trump or influence the primary’s outcome. The race continues to draw attention as candidates seek to secure the party’s nomination for the Senate seat.
