Summary
House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green, a Tennessee Republican, announced his resignation after the House votes on President Trump’s budget bill, citing an exciting opportunity in the private sector. Green, who has served in Congress since 2019, previously led efforts to impeach former Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over border issues and had initially planned to retire last year but stayed to support Trump’s border security measures. His departure may impact House Republicans’ majority, as a special election will be needed to fill his solidly red district seat.
