Republicans are going to get slaughtered in the midterms.

And I think right now it's definitely losing the House and potentially the Senate.

Hello, hello, and welcome to The Conversation.

I'm Dasha Burns, Politico's White House Bureau Chief.

And every week on this show, I invite one of the most compelling and sometimes unexpected power players in Washington and beyond in for a chat to find out how

they're navigating and shaping this incredible era of American politics.

And this week, I spoke with former Republican congresswoman and MAGA firebrand, Marjorie Taylor Green.

For six years, Green was one of President Trump's most loyal allies,

and during that time, she became an influential and polarizing voice in the GOP. But late last

year, Green and Trump clashed over her push to release the Epstein files, which led to her abrupt

resignation from Congress. Now she's one of President Trump's loudest critics

calling his military action in Iran, quote, evil and madness. Green's very public fallout with the

president underscores a deeper fracture inside the MAGA movement and raises new questions about what

America First actually means. We talked about her life now,

this week's special election to fill her seat, and where she thinks Trump's political coalition

goes from here. Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green joins the conversation.
