Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene Warns GOP Will Lose House Without Cost of Living Action

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has sharply criticized House GOP leadership, warning that Republicans risk losing the House in the 2026 midterms if they fail to address the rising cost of living, particularly the looming expiration of Affordable Care Act subsidies which could double health insurance premiums for millions. She expressed frustration with House Speaker Mike Johnson and Republican leadership for lacking a clear plan and for not negotiating healthcare reforms with Democrats, calling their approach an "America Last strategy." Greene, who remains loyal to President Donald Trump, has also been outspoken about the ongoing government shutdown, urging that the House should be in session to resolve the funding deadlock. She emphasized that voters will enter the midterms focused on their financial struggles, including record household debt, and criticized repeated GOP votes on short-term spending bills as ineffective. Despite her criticisms, Greene insists she is staying true to America First policies and continues to push her party toward concrete solutions on economic issues affecting everyday Americans. Speaker Johnson remains optimistic about maintaining GOP majorities and supports a "clean" continuing resolution to fund the government, defending the party's legislative actions amid the shutdown.
