Marjorie Taylor Greene Warns Trump Could Cancel 2028 Election

Former Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has publicly expressed concern that President Donald Trump may attempt to use the ongoing conflict with Iran as a justification to cancel the 2028 presidential election, marking a significant break from the president she once staunchly defended.

In an interview with commentator Alex Jones, Greene pointed to a meeting between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in August 2025. During that meeting, Trump noted that Ukraine had not held elections since the start of the war with Russia. According to Greene, Trump said, “So you say, during the war, you can’t have elections. Three and a half years from now, so you mean if we happen to be in a war with somebody, no more elections? Oh, that’s good.”

Greene said the remark was delivered in a joking tone but expressed doubt about whether it was entirely unserious. “I don’t know if he’s joking,” she said. She described the repeated comments as a deliberate effort to test public reaction. “He constantly says it so that he can normalize the idea and test the support and test people’s reactions,” Greene said. “I think it’s incredibly dangerous, and no one should ever accept it.”
