Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) said she is engaged in discussions about launching a new political party, arguing that growing dissatisfaction with both major parties could eventually grow into a broader political movement aimed at attracting conservatives, independents, and other disaffected voters.
The comments came during an appearance on “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” where Greene confirmed she has been part of discussions about forming what she described as a “true America-focused” alternative.
The remarks follow her recent announcement that she was distancing herself from the Republican Party amid a public split with President Donald Trump and other GOP figures.
“I am in talks with people, and there are serious conversations happening, looking at what are the mechanics of that and the reality of it,” Greene said during the interview.
She emphasized that establishing a viable third party would not be an immediate effort, describing it as a long-term undertaking requiring sustained organization, infrastructure, and voter engagement.
“It’s difficult to launch a third party, so the reality is this isn’t something that gets off the ground in just a couple of campaign cycles,” she said. “This is a movement that has to be developed and would take time to develop.”
Greene suggested that any potential movement would need to extend beyond high-profile political figures and rely on broader public participation to gain traction.
“I’ll also say this is it’s going to take the American people to get involved,” she said. “Because it’s not going to be a couple of players like Tucker and I and a few others that can roll up our sleeves and get this done. It’s going to take a serious effort from everyone.”
The idea of a potential breakaway political effort surfaced during the interview after host Piers Morgan asked whether conservative commentator Tucker Carlson could play a leadership role in a new political organization, BizPac Review noted.
Greene said she has not had direct discussions with Carlson about that scenario but suggested he could attract support across ideological lines if he were involved in such an effort.
“There is a group of us that have literally fought the system,” Greene said. “If we decide to align, we could launch a true America-focused party that doesn’t fall into the traps of Democrats and Republicans, but could align some serious players from the right and the left and move forward.”
Carlson, a former Fox News host, has also publicly discussed interest in helping build an alternative political movement, though he has said he does not intend to run for office himself.
In comments published this week, he said he supports efforts to create a third party centered on domestic priorities and argued that both major parties have failed to address the concerns of working Americans, according to The Independent.
Greene’s remarks also reflect her broader break with the Republican Party.
Once a prominent ally of Trump during her tenure in Congress, she increasingly criticized GOP leadership before ultimately breaking with the party, at one point referring to it as the “America LAST Republican Party.”
During the interview, Greene framed the discussion as the early stages of a potential political realignment rather than a formal launch, noting that no structure, timeline, or organization has been established.
Neither Greene nor Carlson has announced official plans for a new party, and discussions remain preliminary as participants weigh the logistical and political challenges of mounting a national third-party effort.
