Greene’s Possible Replacement Revealed After Trump Fallout

Conservative firebrand Laura Loomer sparked a political firestorm over the weekend after hinting she may relocate to Georgia — a tease that immediately raised questions about whether she could become President Donald J. Trump’s preferred challenger to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene in the state’s 14th Congressional District.

Loomer, a vocal Trump supporter with an audience of nearly 1.8 million followers on X, told her supporters Saturday that the president personally informed her he wanted Greene “primaried.” Moments later, she put the spotlight squarely on herself.

“Should I move to Georgia?” she asked, prompting instant speculation across conservative media and political circles.

Loomer’s post came just hours after President Trump unloaded on Greene in a scathing late-night Truth Social statement, calling her a “ranting lunatic” and criticizing what he described as her increasingly self-destructive behavior. The president’s decision to withdraw his endorsement — once considered Greene’s most politically valuable asset — dramatically reshaped the landscape of the 2026 primary overnight.

Greene has yet to respond publicly to Loomer’s remarks.

Tensions between Loomer and Greene have simmered for months but escalated dramatically this year. Their feud intensified in August after Loomer criticized Medal of Honor recipient Florent Groberg, igniting a days-long online slugfest. Loomer resurfaced many of those accusations this weekend, calling Greene “no friend to MAGA,” revisiting claims of her alleged political disloyalty dating back to 2021, and spotlighting Democrats who have at times praised her.

Some of Loomer’s posts also amplified reports of Greene aligning with establishment figures during the 2022 midterms — a narrative sure to irritate conservative grassroots voters in a district where loyalty to President Trump is the political baseline.

President Trump’s Friday message made clear he believes Republicans in the 14th District are ready for an alternative. In his Truth Social post, he accused Greene of becoming consumed by “complaining,” suggested she had “turned left,” and said voters were already considering a primary challenge. The president vowed he would give “Complete and Unyielding Support” to the “right person” who enters the race — though he did not attach a name to the statement.

Loomer has not formally declared a candidacy. But her comments — timed within hours of the president’s rebuke — fueled widespread speculation that she may be testing the waters or preparing to move into the district.

If she does, the 2026 Republican primary could become one of the most high-profile intra-party battles in the nation, pitting two combative conservative personalities against each other with President Trump’s endorsement on the line. Georgia’s 14th District, a deep-red stronghold, is dominated by Republicans, meaning the primary is essentially the general election.

A Loomer–Greene showdown would attract national coverage, major fundraising, and intense ideological scrutiny — especially with President Trump publicly signaling he wants Greene out of Congress.

Greene, meanwhile, responded Sunday to the president’s escalating criticism. In an interview with CNN’s Dana Bash, she addressed Trump’s decision to call her a “traitor,” saying the remark was both false and potentially dangerous.

“The most hurtful thing he said, which is absolutely untrue, is he called me a traitor, and that is so extremely wrong,” Greene said. “Those are the types of words used that can radicalize people against me and put my life in danger.”

Trump reiterated Friday that Greene had been “upset” he had not returned her phone calls, accused her of drifting ideologically, and stressed that he would fully support any conservative challenger in 2026. Greene, first elected in 2020, has easily won re-election twice, but now faces the greatest political threat of her career — one possibly championed by the sitting president.

For now, Loomer has made no announcement. But she has asked the question, and the political world is watching.
