Lauren Greene Sanders, Marjorie Taylor Greene’s eldest daughter, has spoken out following her mother’s resignation from Congress. She wanted to address rumors about why Greene stepped down.
In a post on X, Sanders called her mother “one of a kind” and said she would “forever be proud” of her. She also wrote, “110% on America First, American Only,” showing her mother’s loyalty to her principles.
One of a kind Congresswoman. Forever will be so proud of my mom @mtgreenee ❤️

Greene’s resignation surprised many. She had been known as a strong MAGA supporter but recently became critical of President Donald Trump on issues like healthcare and the Epstein files.
Talk of Greene’s next moves erupted online almost immediately. Posts suggested she was planning a 2028 presidential run or that her resignation was timed to secure a lifetime pension. Sanders addressed both claims head-on. She called the idea of a presidential run “a lie” and clarified the pension story: “She pays into her pension every month from her paycheck, meaning the pension she will receive is money she paid in. If you’re going to spitfire, at least get it right.”
This is a lie. https://t.co/wNpnvzQDIe

Actually she pays into her pension every month from her paycheck meaning the pension that she will get is money she paid in.

Family was a key factor in Greene’s decision. In her resignation video, Greene said years of personal attacks had been “unfair and wrong,” especially toward her children. Sanders’ posts made it clear she wanted to protect her mother’s reputation.
Trump had withdrawn his endorsement, leaving Greene politically isolated. Sanders asked followers to “pray” for her mother’s safety amid threats, showing the personal toll of her public role.
Sanders is one of three children Greene shares with ex-husband Perry Greene. Her siblings, Taylor, 26, and Derek, 22, stay mostly private. Sanders has often described her mother as a “best friend” and frequently posts photos with her.
Greene also spoke about her concern for the younger generation. In her video, she said many young people “feel hopeless for their future and don’t think they will ever realize the American dream.”
Sanders also shared a personal moment. She posted a photo of the movie The Patriot, which shows a parent fighting for their children. She wrote, “This movie was very much needed tonight,” connecting the story to her mother’s dedication.

Greene’s last day in Congress will be January 5, 2026. While opinions about her career and choices vary, Sanders emphasized loyalty, family, and the truth behind her mother’s decision.
