"This wasn't a 'we support Republicans' election." - Greene

GOP’s razor-thin House majority could complicate Trump’s policy plans

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia), one of Trump’s fiercest allies in the House, said that if House or Senate Republicans do not follow the mandate voters gave Trump, megadonors such as billionaire Elon Musk could help voters push dissenters out of office. Musk recently posted on X that Republicans “who oppose reform will lose their primary/election. Period.”

Greene credited Trump for pulling Hill Republicans across the electoral finish line. “The way the House and the Senate needs to understand the mandate is that the American people want President Trump’s agenda done,” she said, “This wasn’t a ‘we support Republicans’ election.”
