Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) issued her bluntest warning yet to fellow congressional Republicans Monday, predicting her party “will lose the House” in a colossal midterm meltdown if it fails to tackle the rising cost of living before next year.

Greene, a fierce Trump ally but increasingly vocal critic of GOP leadership, has turned her fire inward in recent months and in an exclusive conversation with Semafor, laid out the stakes for what she believes is the one issue that really matters.

“I can’t see into the future, but I see Republicans losing the House if Americans are continuing to go paycheck-to-paycheck,” the Georgia congresswoman told the outlet.

Pointing to record-high credit card debt among voters as evidence of economic strain, she added: “They’ll definitely be going into the midterms looking through the lens of their bank account.”

During the interview, Greene also condemned House Republicans’ repeated failure to pass appropriation bills and refusal to negotiate health care reforms without tying them to government funding battles.

“That is something I’m really disgusted with,” she said.

Of the current government shutdown, she slammed her party’s strategy of calling repeated votes on their short-term spending bill “a complete failure” and said it is one that she will continue to “completely disagree with.”

“That is something I’m really disgusted with,” she said. “It’s an America Last strategy, and I don’t know whose strategy that is, but I don’t think it’s a good one.”

Despite her dissent and criticism of House Speaker Mike Johnson, in particular, Greene insists her loyalty to the president remains intact and refused to blame President Donald Trump: “any president, whether it’s a Democrat or Republican president, they’re in a cone of information, the information is siloed, and it’s coming from their advisers.”

Defending her stance, she said: “Everyone keeps saying I’ve changed, and I’m saying, ‘No, I haven’t changed,’ I’m staying focused on America First, and I’m urging my party to get back to America First.”

“I actually ran for Congress in 2020 angry with Republicans in Congress — which is pretty much where I’m at now again,” she said, adding at another point, “I’m mad about a lot of things and I’m not going to stop talking.”
