Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) was recently observed spending her Christmas vacation in Costa Rica accompanied by her new fiancé, Brian Glenn. This leisure time overseas occurs as Greene remains on the congressional payroll, with her official resignation from Congress scheduled for January 5, 2026.
Photographs released by the Daily Mail captured Greene and Glenn walking along a Costa Rican beach on Christmas Day, embodying a serene holiday spirit. The couple, who began their relationship in 2023, recently announced their engagement, which closely followed Greene's unexpected resignation announcement a month prior, after a fallout with President Donald Trump.
Greene took the oath of office on January 3, 2021. Her departure after five years and three days in Congress ensures her eligibility for a congressional pension, estimated at roughly $9,000 annually. Critics have speculated that the timing of her resignation was strategically planned to secure this benefit.
During what appears to be her final weeks as a congresswoman, Greene's activities included shopping at a local market and beach outings, coinciding with the federal holidays and the House's annual winter recess. Her family joined her for the festive season, suggesting a full family retreat.
Despite her impending exit from Congress, Greene has stayed politically active, particularly on social media. She has continued her critique of President Trump, defended conservative media personalities like Tucker Carlson, and shared religious messages during the holiday season. Her engagement to Glenn, a White House correspondent for Real America's Voice, has also captured media attention, with Glenn publicly celebrating their engagement and hinting at a future away from Washington for Greene.
The ongoing dynamic between Greene and President Trump has been notable, with the President allegedly labeling her a "traitor" and Greene retaliating with intensified rhetoric. Her public rebuke of Trump has been rooted in what she perceives as his abandonment of the MAGA base on issues such as the Epstein files, foreign policy, and healthcare.
As Greene prepares to leave her congressional role, she has issued a warning to potential successors not to use her as a target during their campaigns, urging them to "run on your own merits" and "earn the people's vote."
While Greene's official duties are winding down, her visibility and influence within the political discourse appear far from diminishing. Her forthcoming resignation seems to mark not an end but a transition to a new phase in her public life, one that includes sun, sand, and secured taxpayer-funded benefits.
