Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene is telling close confidants that she wants to run for president in 2028. The Georgia lawmaker has been telling her congressional colleagues she is eying a bid for the White House, four sources familiar with the matter told NOTUS. One of the sources shared that MTG believes she is 'real MAGA and that the others have strayed' from Trump's true vision. Greene also believes she will get the money to pull off the expensive gambit, the source revealed. In fact, the congresswoman thinks she has 'the national donor network to win the primary.' The congresswoman did not deny her ambitions when responding to the Daily Mail's request for comment. 'Last week, it was rumored that I was planning to run for Governor of Georgia. This week it’s rumored I am running for President. I’m committed to one thing: serving the best district in the Nation, Georgia’s 14th.' Greene, 51, a conservative mother of three known for her outlandish attacks on her political opponents, has recently separated herself from the GOP by repeatedly criticizing party leadership. Based on her recent social media posts and TV appearances, one may come to think that Greene is center-right. But those who are longtime MTG watchers may beg to differ. Once a purveyor of lies about 'space lasers,' Greene has been embraced by even her most ardent opponents because of her recent critiques of Republicans and specifically her embrace of healthcare reform - a top priority among those on the left. She is no longer ridiculing trans people in front of her nearly 8 million social media followers; instead, she is talking about advancing Obamacare subsidies. Greene's efforts appear to be apart of a larger rebrand. On Wednesday, Greene chastised GOP leadership's failure to provide relief to 'Americans suffering from high cost of living, rising food and energy prices. In the same post, she accused leadership of 'leaving them out to dry with no plan on our skyrocketing health insurance premiums.' Once siloed to the far-right networks like One America News (OAN) and Real America's Voice, a network her boyfriend Brian Glenn works for, MTG has broken out of the conservative echo chamber and found herself in bluer waters. This week, she appeared on ABC's 'The View,' a left-leaning daytime program that frequently slams Republicans and Trump. Overall, the TV appearance was tame, despite one tense moment. Though Greene was pressed on her 'space laser' comments, she was able to find middle ground on the issue, admitting she was tricked by what she had read online. Green also noted how the phenomenon - being tricked by things you read online - is common on both sides of the political aisle, a point well taken by the hosts. She also recently appeared on 'Real Time' with Bill Maher, where the Republican was similarly greeted with a warm reception.
