medium confidence · updated 2026-07-26

US Representative and populist-conservative figure whose opposition helped defeat the ten-year state AI-regulation moratorium in summer 2025, after publicly stating she had not known the provision was in the bill when she voted for it. A principal named member of the coalition that split the Trump base on AI preemption.

US Representative and a prominent populist-conservative voice, and one of the figures named in reporting on the coalition that defeated federal preemption of state AI regulation.

Position on AI preemption

Greene is among the actors Woolf's Transformer reporting identifies as decisive in defeating the ten-year state AI-regulation moratorium inserted into the 2025 "One Big Beautiful Bill" reconciliation package. She "publicly stated that she had not known the moratorium was in the bill when she" voted for it — a disclosure that gave the opposition a procedural argument alongside the substantive one.

The reporting places her on the populist side of a fissure running through the Trump coalition, opposite the technofuturist-libertarian side represented by Elon Musk, Marc Andreessen, and Peter Thiel. See AI Industry Discourse Analysis for the coalition-formation frame, and State-Level AI Regulation for what the moratorium would have preempted.
