Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has publicly criticized President Donald Trump and Republican leadership, claiming they campaigned on "America First" principles but are instead governing with "America Last" policies. Greene predicted the approach could lead to Republican losses in upcoming midterm elections.

The criticism comes as Florida continues to be viewed as a solidly Republican state, having supported Trump in the 2016, 2020, and 2024 presidential elections. Over this period, Florida has become increasingly central to Trump's political movement and broader conservative politics.

Despite the state's Republican trajectory, Democratic Party officials point to a series of recent electoral victories as evidence of renewed competitiveness in Florida. These wins have prompted some Democrats to express optimism about future prospects in the state.

Greene's public break with Trump's current governing approach represents a notable criticism from within Republican ranks. Her comments specifically targeted what she characterized as a disconnect between campaign promises and actual policy implementation.

The tension highlights broader questions about Republican unity and strategy as the party prepares for midterm elections. Florida's political landscape remains a key battleground for both parties despite its recent Republican lean.
