Only 3% of Turning Point Action Conference attendees want Trump to select Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene as his running mate. MTG has had a brutal summer. The MAGA base turned on her following her outspoken support of the McCarthy-Biden Debt Deal, and made MTG the first rep. in history to be kicked out of the House Freedom Caucus.
Kari Lake won the Trump VP poll with 30% of the vote. Lake was followed by Byron Donalds at 24%, Vivek Ramaswamy at 22%, Tim Scott at 6%, Ron DeSantis at 5%, Kristi Noem at 3%, Sarah Sanders at 2%, and Ron Johnson at 1%.
Ron DeSantis lost to someone named Perry Johnson in the Turning Point Action GOP primary poll. The fact that DeSantis beat Greene means Greene’s connection with young America First voters is all but gone.
In 2022, many saw MTG as a favorite to be Trump’s 2024 VP pick. Greene started her downfall by supporting Kevin McCarthy for Speaker before McCarthy gave any concessions to the Freedom Caucus.
Then, Greene supported Kevin McCarthy’s speakership campaign, as well as the McCarthy-Biden debt-ceiling deal. MTG attacked her fellow Freedom Caucus colleagues for voting no on the bill. MTG infamously said, “I do not live in Conservative Fantasy land,” and called her colleagues who voted against the bill “unsuccessful.” MTG even tweeted her attacks against House Freedom Caucus members.

In June, MTG called Lauren Boebert a b**** on the House Floor. This was the final straw, and Greene was unanimously voted out of the House Freedom Caucus in July.
Trump seems to have taken note of MTG’s decline. Trump had MTG speak at the beginning of his July rally in South Carolina. In the past, MTG has been the final speaker or even introduced Trump.
The young GOP voters who attended Turning Point’s conference are unforgiving of globalist frauds posing as MAGA allies. MTG’s once-promising political career is all but over.
