Rep. Mark Green said he was returning to the private sector to start his own business, without sharing details about the business.
Rep. Mark Green, R-Tenn., announced his official resignation from Congress on Friday, a move that was expected but one that could, at least for now, shrink Republicans’ already narrow majority in the House.
With his resignation, Republicans are down to a 219-212 majority in the House, at least until his seat in the solidly red district is filled.
His resignation will be effective July 20, Fox News reports from a letter Green sent to House Republican leadership.
Uh oh! Republicans better be CAREFUL! He's in a Red District and After passing this HORRIBLE Bill you KNOW that his Seat will be in No Danger Whatsoever because Republicans would LITERALLY RATHER DIE then to not Vote Republican!
219-212. Oh boy that's close.
"What did you vote on today honey?"
I don't know, they just told me to vote yes so I did.
"Won't that hurt your constituents?"
They will still vote for me so long as I have the right letter next to my name, they haven't even realized I can't read yet.
