Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Nora Rahm. Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene says she'll resign her seat in the new year. She blames President Trump, the Republican Party, and House leadership for her decision. NPR's Stephen Fowler has more.
Chapter 2: What prompted Marjorie Taylor Greene's resignation announcement?
Greene's surprise announcement that she will leave Congress on January 5th spurred many reactions late Friday and early Saturday. President Trump told ABC News it was, quote, great news for the country after the two had a public nasty falling out over the Epstein files and other policy disagreements this year.
Other Republicans inside Georgia have said her departure will be a great loss for those who value conservative America first principles. And Democrats, no fan of Greene or her policies, are highlighting the rift as signs the GOP is in disarray. Stephen Fowler, NPR News, Atlanta.
The U.S. Supreme Court is allowing Texas to use its recently redrawn map of congressional districts for now. As NPR's Hansi Luong reports, it's the latest move in the gerrymandering fight sparked by President Trump to try to keep Republicans in control of the House.
A final decision from the Supreme Court may come as soon as Monday. If the court allows Texas to use the contested map for the midterm election, Republicans may be able to pick up five more seats in the U.S. House. A lower court had blocked that map after finding its challengers are likely to prove in a trial that the map is an unconstitutional racial gerrymander.
That's because multiple top Republican officials made public statements suggesting they passed it to eliminate existing districts where Black and Latino voters together make up the majority. But Texas tells the Supreme Court the lawmakers were not motivated by race and were focused on drawing new districts that are more likely to elect Republicans.
Time is running out to finalize Texas' map for the midterms. The state's candidate filing deadline is about two weeks away. Hansi Lewong, NPR News.
The latest U.S.-Russian drafted peace plan being pushed by President Trump has left Ukrainians reeling. Ukrainians may be divided over whether their country should accept the plan, but they agree that Russia will not end this war. NPR's Eleanor Beardsley reports.
Lviv resident Rustam Gadziv says President Volodymyr Zelensky will push for a better deal, but he may have no choice but to sign Trump's plan.
I think that Zelensky learned that he's not supposed to say no to Trump. So he says, thank you. Thank you for trying to stop this massacre, this war. We're going to review it with our European partners, blah, blah, blah.
