Greene warns GOP that shutdown strategy will hurt midterm elections
Rep. Greene warns shutdown hurts Republicans in 2026
🏢Legislative Process🗳️Elections🏛️Government
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene publicly warned in early Oct. 2025 that a continuing shutdown would hurt Republicans in the 2026 midterms.
On Oct. 7, 2025, Greene said she was 'absolutely disgusted' that enhanced ACA tax credits could expire and sharply raise premiums for millions of families, and she urged Republican action to prevent that outcome.
On Oct. 9, 2025, the Senate failed to advance the GOP clean short-term funding measure for the seventh time, losing by a 54-45 procedural vote.
The Democratic-led funding measure that included health care provisions also failed multiple times that week, with procedural failures reported across early Oct. 2025.
