The Biden campaign believes highlighting Trump's ties to Marjorie Taylor Greene helps energize voters turned off by Greene's extremist views.

his eyes out in mock surprise at the sight of Marjorie Taylor Greene decked out in Donald Trump’s bright red Make America Great Again campaign gear. Within hours, his campaign’s TikTok channel posted the video, saying Biden’s reaction to the far-right congresswoman ”is all of us."

Two days later, when Donald Trump went to northwest Georgia to campaign in Greene's home district, the Democratic National Committee plastered billboards along five highways showing Trump's face next to Greene's and blaming both for killing a major border funding bill. Biden was in Atlanta that same day and called out Trump’s campaign stop with Greene, saying the company someone keeps “can tell you a lot.

The Biden campaign has kicked into overdrive trying to pair Trump and Greene in voter’s minds, banking that it could help energize voters who might view her more negatively than the former President. Greene’s a high-profile proponent of the lie that the 2020 election was stolen from Trump, and has previously peddled wild conspiracy theories, like QAnon, as well as suggesting that the 9/11 attack was a hoax and that Jewish space lasers are responsible for wildfires.

That’s all given the Biden campaign an opening to remind voters just how far from the mainstream sit the views of Trump’s close allies. Greene is “a champion for extremism, a champion for election denialism, and someone who fundamentally is trying to, alongside Donald Trump, tear down the fabric of our democracy,” says Biden campaign communications director Michael Tyler.

In late March, just before the House adjourned for a two week Spring recess, Greene filed a motion to vacate House Speaker Johnson’s leadership position, winding up Republicans for a tense return to Washington in mid-April. Greene objected to the $1.2 trillion spending deal that Johnson hammered out with Democrats to keep the government funded through the end of September.
