Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene is now among the top Republicans expected to land the party's 2028 presidential nomination. Her odds to secure the nomination mushroomed on online prediction markets days after her shocking resignation announcement. The Georgia Republican shook up Washington, D.C., late Friday after publishing a letter critiquing her party and announcing her last day in Congress will be on January 5, 2026.

The congresswoman shared that she would be resigning her seat with a year remaining on her current term, which ends in January 2027. Her declaration came on the heels of a high-profile bashing from President Donald Trump , who denounced her as 'wacky' and a 'traitor,' among other insults. Since her statement, Greene has been catapulted into the top tier of GOP political heavyweights expected to compete for the party's presidential nomination.

Currently, Greene is the third most likely candidate to secure the Republican Party's support for president in 2028. The congresswoman has a six percent chance of getting the nod in 2028, according to prediction site Polymarket. Meanwhile, Vice President JD Vance is by far the most likely 2028 Republican presidential nominee, with a 55 percent chance, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio is the second most likely, with an eight percent chance, according to the site.

Nearly half a million dollars has been wagered on MTG's 2028 presidential prospects on Polymarket alone. On Kalshi, another prediction site, Greene is the seventh most likely candidate to secure the 2028 presidential nomination according to Monday evening's data - behind Vance, Rubio, Trump, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. Though her stock is rising, Greene has denied that she plans to run for the White House.

'I’m not running for President and never said I wanted to and have only laughed about it when anyone would mention it,' the congresswoman wrote on social media Sunday. 'I’m not motivated by power and titles,' she added. Previous reports had indicated that she was mulling a run, citing sources close to the lawmaker.

However, Greene still has options if she wants to remain in politics. Georgia is having gubernatorial and US Senate elections in November 2026, though the congresswoman has not clearly indicated her interest in either contest.

Boasting millions of followers across her myriad social media followings, the Republican could also wade into the media world, either on her own platform or for one of the major TV networks that she has recently appeared on, like CNN or ABC. Greene's office did not immediately respond to the Daily Mail's request for comment.
