Rep. Mark Green Resigns After Key House Vote

News summary

Rep. Mark Green, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee and a member of the House Freedom Caucus, announced he will resign from Congress after the House votes on President Trump's major tax and budget bill, known as the 'Big, Beautiful Bill.' Green, who represents Tennessee's 7th District, cited an exciting but undisclosed private sector opportunity as his reason for leaving. He had previously reversed his decision not to seek reelection in 2024 following appeals from colleagues and Trump, and played a prominent role in the impeachment of former Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Green's resignation, expected after the anticipated July 4 vote, will reduce the GOP House majority from 220 to 219, further tightening the Republicans’ margin. His district, which includes parts of Nashville, has consistently supported Republican candidates. Green's tenure was marked by both legislative accomplishments and personal controversies, including a high-profile divorce and allegations of an extramarital affair.
