Raw Story: 'We're going to lose the midterms': MTG gripes that 'Republicans are the problem'
Raw Story - 'We're going to lose the midterms': MTG gripes that 'Republicans are the problem'

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) warned that Republicans are on track to "lose the midterms."
In a Monday interview, MAGA influencer Steve Bannon asked Greene what advice she would give to President Donald Trump as Congress tries to pass legislation based on his agenda.
"Stick with the agenda and ignore the people here in Washington that are trying to get you to do something different," Greene advised. "It's the Republicans that are the problem, Steve."
"Stick to the program!" she exclaimed. "And understand that the way to win the midterms is by the House and the Senate delivering the campaign promises because Trump's not on that, he's not on the ballot in 2026."
Greene argued that Republicans could lose control of the House if they do not fulfill the promises Trump made to his MAGA base.
