Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has a message for the remaining field of GOP primary candidates not named Donald Trump: The time to drop out is now.
The Georgia Republican made her pitch in remarks to a Republican women’s group and a stop at Trump’s Manchester campaign HQ in New Hampshire on Monday, where she was campaigning on his behalf, according to the New Hampshire Journal.
“I’m telling all of you guys, I’m asking you — make sure you’re supporting President Trump. He’s going to win this primary, and he is going to beat Joe Biden. It’s going to happen,” Greene implored. “And when it does, there is no man in the country that has a list like President Trump. Nobody.”
The publication added:
Greene was the featured speaker at the New Hampshire Federation of Republican Women’s Fall Harvest Breakfast at the Bedford Village Inn. Longshot GOP presidential candidate Ryan Binkley, a pastor and business owner from Texas, also briefly addressed the crowd.
NHRFW President Elizabeth Girard introduced Greene as “one of the Republicans standing up for our values.”

“Marjorie Taylor Greene knows how important it is to stand up and speak up– even if it means she has to stand alone,” Girard said.
Greene also took a shot at President Joe Biden’s mental state.
“Joe Biden? Unbelievable! The man has dementia. He has dementia! He can’t even say a sentence correctly. He can’t even walk off the stage,” Greene said.
She added that she planned to file a motion to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) over her statements since the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attack against Israel.
“(Tlaib) is antisemitic, hates Israel, hates America, supports Hamas, supports terrorism, and supports the murder of innocent Israeli citizens. That’s who Rashida Tlaib is. And we are definitely going to fight to censure her on Wednesday,” Greene said.
She also accused Biden of political corruption for supporting so much military and financial aid for Ukraine.
“Here we are after almost two years now, for this war in Ukraine — and they want more money. Biden loves it. Why does Joe Biden want to spend money in Ukraine? It’s the best money laundering scheme going. The Biden Crime Family, they’ve been doing business over there for years. Everybody knows it,” Greene claimed.
Asked what she thinks the U.S. should do if it pulls funding from Ukraine, she said the administration “should be negotiating a peace deal between the two countries and ending the war. It’s having large economic percussions, not just Europe, but all over the world.”
And when asked if her message from a bright red district in Georgia could resonate with moderate, purple-leaning Republicans in New Hampshire, Greene responded: “Absolutely.”
“Our message works in New Hampshire because people here are suffering from ‘Bidenflation,’ high energy prices, the bad economy, and the dangers from our wide-open southern border,” she said. “I think people here would agree with people in Georgia, and Texas, and Iowa that Joe Biden is ruining our country.”
“I betcha people here miss President Trump,” Greene added.
One of the most recent 2024 GOP contenders to leave the race is radio host and author Larry Elder, who quickly endorsed Trump when he dropped out last week.

“As I look at the path forward, and after careful consideration and consultation with my campaign team, I have made the difficult decision to suspend my campaign,” he noted in a lengthy statement.
“Now that I am exiting the race, I am proud to announce my endorsement of Donald Trump for President of the United States,” he added. “His leadership has been instrumental in advancing conservative, America-first principles and policies that have benefited our great nation.
“We must unite behind Donald Trump to beat Joe Biden and fight back against Biden’s unprecedented election interference and the left’s destruction of America,” he added.
