What’s happening with Marjorie Taylor Greene? Why the Maga loyalist has won some Democratic fans

She's been a true Maga believer in the past, but the Georgia representative has lately shown a streak of independence

For years she was one of Donald Trump's most loyal foot soldiers. Marjorie Taylor Greene trafficked in racist statements, indicated support for executing Democrats and even floated conspiracy theories about Jewish space lasers. Beneath a red Make America great again" cap she became an instantly recognisable face of the Maga movement.

Yet in recent months the Georgia congresswoman has surprised friend and foe alike. On issues ranging from healthcare to Gaza to the Jeffrey Epstein files, she has broken ranks with Republicans and won unlikely fans among Democrats. The streak of independence has stirred speculation about her motives - and future ambitions.
