Ex-Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene is cautioning Republicans that President Donald Trump’s conflict in Iran might hurt the party in the upcoming midterm elections.

“With Trump and his administration having broken their campaign pledges of ‘No More Foreign Wars/No More Regime Change,’ and Republicans holding majorities in both the House and Senate outright refusing to pass critical legislation, voter anger was evident in yesterday’s Texas primary,” she stated in a on X this Wednesday. “Democrats turned out in greater numbers than Republicans in the Texas primary yesterday. Should this trend continue into November’s general election, Texas’ Senate seat will turn blue.”

“Whatever this new distorted version of MAGA Trump is pushing, it’s going to fail in the midterms,” she went on.

Greene, who from Congress in January, was once a steadfast ally of the President until the pair had a in November. The former Georgia lawmaker clashed with Trump over his administration’s management of documents linked to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Last month, she the MAGA base that certain reactions to the release of the so-called “Epstein files” could damage Republicans in the November elections.

“All you MAGA influencers and others making light of the trauma faced by women who were trafficked and assaulted as teens and young adults come across as cultish fools,” she said in a . “Good luck convincing women to vote Republican in the midterms, you unfeeling clowns. The GOP already struggles with female voter support.”

She did not name the individuals she was targeting in that post.

The outcome of November’s midterm elections could significantly alter the balance of power in Washington, D.C., and affect Trump’s capacity to keep implementing his policy agenda. Currently, Republicans hold sway over the House and Senate, but Democrats are to pick up seats in both legislative bodies.

Additionally, there have been indicating that Democrats are building voter excitement leading up to the midterms. Early data reveals that a record number of Texas Democrats turned out to vote in the state’s primary on Tuesday. The Southern state has , allowing any voter to participate in any party’s primary. On Tuesday, more voters in the Democratic primary than the Republican one, though some votes remain uncounted.

Trump confronts Republican pushback over the Iran conflict

Greene isn’t the only Republican to have criticized Trump’s military operations in Iran.

Tucker Carlson, a former Fox News anchor now working as a podcaster, met with the President several times in recent weeks to attempt to dissuade him from greenlighting the military operation, according to reports. Another ex-Fox News host, Megyn Kelly, her critiques of the attack on her show, stating, “No one should have to die for a foreign nation.”

“I don’t believe those four service members died for the U.S.,” she commented. “I think their deaths were for Iran or Israel.”

On Monday, officials announced that the number of U.S. service members in the conflict had increased to six.

Trump and his supporters have pushed back against this criticism. In an with journalist Rachael Bade earlier this week, Trump stated, “MAGA is Trump—MAGA isn’t the other two,” in reference to Carlson and Kelly.

“First and foremost, I have to do what’s correct—and we can’t let Iran obtain a nuclear weapon,” he explained.

Lawmakers have over the issue, with the majority of Republican congressional members backing Trump’s choice to launch the attack.

Early polling indicates that a significant number of Americans the U.S. military action in Iran: 43%, per a . By contrast, just 27% of poll participants voiced support for the strikes.

However, polling also shows a on the issue. Over 80% of Democratic respondents in a opposed the military operation, while only 23% of Republicans shared that view. A CNN poll conducted by SSRS found that 77% of Republicans approved of the strikes, versus fewer than 20% of Democrats.
