Marjorie Taylor Greene is scheming

Quick note: I’ll be taking Monday off for the federal holiday, so there will be no Tuesday newsletter. Good time to catch up on episodes of “Standing Room Only” you’ve missed!

On this week’s “Standing Room Only,” I take a look at all the way Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is trying to cast herself as a free-thinking iconoclast unafraid to take on her own party. I think she’s assuming that Donald Trump is not long for politics — and she’s making her play to run for president in 2028.

Can she pull it off? (Short answer: No.) I look at that question and more in this fun-filled but informative episode.

They’ll never nominate her

My returning guest this week is journalist Laura Bassett, who’a always a good time. We explored such crucial questions as “Hey, is MTG savvy or stupid?” and “Would you work out with her?” In this clip, Laura talks about how Greene doesn’t fit the MAGA mold of what women should look like.
