Rep. Mark Green, R-tenn., On Friday, his official resignation announced from the congress, a movement that was expected, but one that, at least for the time being, could shrink the already narrow majority of Republicans in the house.
“To my voters in the 7th district of Tennessee – thanks. The confidence that you put into me has been humiliating. I will look back with pleasure on my years of serving as your voice in Washington,” Green wrote in a message about X.
With his resignation, the Republicans are a majority of 219-212 in the house, at least until his chair in the sturdy red district is filled.
His resignation will be in force, reports Fox News from a letter that Green has sent home Republican Leadership.
The resignation of Green is a blow to the already narrow majority of house speaker Mike Johnson in the lower room, a fact that this week was on Stark -display when he tried to pass the 'big, beautiful bill' of President Donald Trump.
Johnson struggled to merge his conference around the Megabill and the narrow majority gave him little wobble space for defects. With the resignation of Green, Johnson's could be confronted with a still challenging road that lies in front of us.
Green, chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, said he returned to the private sector to start his own company, but did not give any details about the company.
“Although I cannot give the details here, I will do something that is specifically designed to help America compete against the CCP [Chinese Communist Party]But this time in business, “said Green in a video on X.
Green was chosen to serve in the congress in 2018, successor to Senator Marsha Blackburn.
Although his retirement was expected in June that he stepped away from his role comes after the congress has experienced the turnover among the legislators in recent months, such as Rep. Mike Waltz, R-fla., Who left his function to serve in the Trump government before he got out of that role.
Another Republican, Rep. Don Bacon, a centrist, recently also announced his retirement from the congress. Bacon's pension creates an opportunity for Democrats to win the household chair that represents Bacon's Omaha, Nebraska, district.
