LeftCenterRightLighter bar: this week so far

Each bar is the share of the outlets on our Left / Center / Right rating scale that we tracked publishing that week which carried reporting on this story, split by the outlets' ratings. We track more outlets now than in the archive, so a share keeps earlier and later weeks comparable. An outlet counts once a week however much it published, and outlets in one ownership or syndication group count as one on each side they appear on. A rating describes the outlet, not the report. A gap means no such reports were collected that week, not that nothing was reported anywhere. Weeks run Monday to Sunday in UTC, so a report published on a Sunday evening in US Eastern time counts in the next week. 6 more outlets off the scale (not rated, or outside the left-right graphs) also reported; they are not in this chart. See them.

    Marjorie Taylor Greene Says Midterms Are Referendum On Trump's 'Betrayal'

Background

In July 2025 Greene said she would not run for governor of Georgia,[6] and by August she was questioning her place in a Republican Party that she found herself at odds with, including Trump.[1] She appeared on "The View" and praised its hosts,[7] and criticized Trump for spending too much time on foreign affairs and too little on inflation, which Trump dismissed.[2] In November he ended his support for her and said he would back a challenger.[3] Greene said his attacks could be responsible for a pipe-bomb threat at her construction company and hoax threats.[8]

On November 21 Greene announced in a video that she would resign in January,[4][9] and she later told "60 Minutes" about her fractured relationship with Trump.[10] In a March 2026 special election, Republican Clay Fuller and Democrat Shawn Harris advanced to a runoff,[11] which Fuller won in April.[5]
