As a first-time candidate, Greene collected $2.6 million in donations in 2020 and then exploded her coffers to more than $12 million as a first-year member. Without committee assignments during that first term, much of her time and travel was occupied by political rallies with former President Donald Trump and on her own nationwide “America First” tour with Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.). While still questioning the 2020 election results, Greene boosted her national profile at these rallies, local fundraisers and events.
Marjorie Taylor Greene is out but not down

It wasn’t long ago that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s political future looked shaky.
- But over the past several weeks, Greene no longer looks endangered.
- No substantive primary challenge has materialized. And the backlash to her ties to McCarthy (R-Calif.) hasn’t led to any clear vulnerabilities in her deep red district. . .
- Greene is close with both McCarthy and Trump.
- She remains one of the most bombastic members of her chamber but also recently launched a joint fundraising committee with the National Republican Congressional Committee.
- The MTG Victory Fund, Inc., is set up to jointly send donations to Greene’s main campaign account, her leadership PAC and the NRCC.
The NRCC has joint-fundraising committees with most of its GOP members, but the new collaboration with Greene makes her a bigger part of the party’s House campaign efforts and will allow her to share her prolific fundraising abilities.. .
