Young Brazilian Voters Shift Right Ahead of 2026 Election 
U.S. Representative Mark Green, a Republican from Tennessee and chair of the House Homeland Security Committee, announced Monday he will resign from Congress to pursue a new opportunity in the private sector. Green, 60, said the offer was “too exciting to pass up” and confirmed he will step down after the House votes again on President Donald Trump’s major tax and spending bill.
Green’s departure will shrink the Republican majority in the House to 219-212, leaving Speaker Mike Johnson with a razor-thin margin of just three votes for passing legislation. Green has represented Tennessee’s 7th District since 2018 and is known for his military service in Iraq and Afghanistan as an Army veteran.
His resignation adds political tension ahead of the House’s next vote on the reconciliation package, part of Trump’s expansive fiscal plan currently under Senate review. The Senate is expected to revise the package significantly before returning it to the House for final approval.
Green’s exit marks another shift in a turbulent congressional session, with Republicans working to push through Trump’s agenda amid growing internal divisions and a narrow majority. His leadership of the Homeland Security Committee played a key role in Republican oversight efforts on border and national security issues.
As the GOP prepares to defend its slim House margin in a critical legislative season, Green’s unexpected resignation underscores the challenges ahead for Republican leadership navigating policy priorities and party unity.
