Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) said Tuesday that former President Trump’s New Hampshire victory sent a clear message to her colleagues: support his policies or get pushed out of the party.
“This is a true change for the Republican Party. It says not only do we support President Trump, we support his policies, and any Republican that isn’t willing to adapt … these policies, we are completely eradicating from the party,” Greene said in an interview with NBC News’s Vaughn Hillyard.
Trump beat Nikki Haley by double digits in New Hampshire, which many saw as a make-or-break state for her candidacy. Calls for the former South Carolina governor to drop out have been growing overnight.
With President Biden also winning the Democratic primary with a write-in campaign, the 2024 race is looking more and more like a rematch between the 2020 nominees.
Greene’s warning to dissenters in her party comes as figures such as Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel said the Iowa and New Hampshire results show the need to coalesce around Trump.
A number of Trump’s former 2024 rivals have done just that, with Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.), Vivek Ramaswamy and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum campaigning by the ex-president’s side in New Hampshire.

Ronna should be careful playing a pundit. Easy to see this as a violation of the RNC’s Rule 11 re neutrality. https://t.co/hCJinHGjQv

As @NoahCRothman said earlier, Tim Scott is the Chris Christie (2016) of 2024.

We all made fun of Chris Christie for a lot less than this. https://t.co/MFoz2MWfXW

This is so much awfulness in so short a clip. Scott chuckles along at the idea of hating Nikki Haley – his ally who gave him a Senate seat – and then tries to defuse it by saying "I just love *you*!" to Trump.
Humiliating for Scott, for what's left of a sane GOP, for the country. https://t.co/dv7SjFwxk9— Tom Nichols (@RadioFreeTom) January 24, 2024
An authoritarian does not like to win by 10 points. And his first targets in power will not be people on the left or in the center, but the people he thinks are betrayers in his own organization. The people desperately (and sweatily) trying to swear oaths to him right now. https://t.co/GsZYwuQoeP

Sen. Susan Collins says she will not endorse former President Trump, even if he becomes the Republican Party’s nominee for president. https://t.co/24WKmOOC6Q pic.twitter.com/5jVqja7knp

Leave it to MAGA to be so odious as to drive Haley, DeSantis, and Christie supporters to all coalesce in common cause against Trumpism—and even pledge to vote against him in November. It’s already happening.
Come one, come all!
