Rep. Mark Green Resigns, Shrinking House Republican Majority

Rep. Mark Green (R-Tenn.) announced his resignation from Congress, effective July 20th, which will further diminish the already slim Republican majority in the House. Green, who chairs the Homeland Security Committee, cited a return to the private sector to launch a business focused on competing with the Chinese Communist Party as his reason for leaving. This departure presents a challenge for Speaker Mike Johnson, particularly as he navigates the passage of significant legislation. Green’s departure comes after being elected to Congress in 2018.
