Is Conservative firebrand Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) quietly setting the stage for a possible run for the presidency in 2028 — a move that signals confidence both in the MAGA base and in her appeal beyond it. According to a Wednesday report from Notus Research, Greene is now thinking of the Oval Office, believing herself to be “real MAGA” and indicating that many Republicans have drifted from that core vision.

The report, based on “insiders familiar with her thinking,” says Greene is actively working to broaden her reach beyond the hardcore base of the movement and connect with a national audience. Notus points to her recent media appearances — on shows such as Real Time with Bill Maher (HBO), The View, and even segments on CNN — as signals of her broader ambition. Greene denies the rumors, as any future presidential candidate would do in early stages of exploration.

Yet the path she is choosing is not entirely comfortable within her own party. Greene has lately sharpened her criticism of Republican leadership, asserting that too many GOP lawmakers have no plan for key priorities such as replacing Obamacare, ending the government shutdown, or securing federal files related to the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. For example, during an appearance on Real Time she called out her GOP colleagues for lacking “a plan” — “that makes me angry,” she said.

In one telling moment she described male Republican members as “weak,” citing her frustration that in her view, conservative women who want to act are marginalized. “There’s a lot of weak Republican men and they’re more afraid of strong Republican women,” she said.

One source told Notus that Greene is confident she possesses a “national donor network to win” the Republican primary — an essential capability for mounting a nationwide campaign. At the same time, she appears to have been cautious in her public statements. On an October podcast with comedian Tim Dillon, Greene demurred when pressed about a 2028 run:

“Oh my goodness. I hate politics so much, Tim… What I’m doing right now is I very much want to fix problems. That’s honestly all I care about.”

Yet those close to her believe the ambition is genuine.

In addition to her national focus, Greene has launched public feuds with fellow members of Congress. She recently accused Alexandria Ocasio‑Cortez (D-N.Y.) of jealousy, after Ocasio-Cortez claimed Greene was on a “revenge tour” against former President Donald J. Trump. Greene shot back that she “doesn’t respect her very much,” noting she believed Ocasio-Cortez had neither accomplished anything in life beyond being a congresswoman nor had anything substantial to offer. She added that Americans are tired of “lies…stupid attacks” such as AOC’s video.

Greene and her representatives did not respond to Notus when asked for comment on the story.
