After that, I will retire, and there will be a special election to replace me.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It was the honor of a lifetime to represent the people of Tennessee in Congress,&rdquo; Green added. &ldquo;They asked me to deliver on the conservative values and principles we all hold dear, and I did my level best to do so.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>He praised his time in Congress, noting his chairmanship, the House&rsquo;s successful effort to impeach former Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, though the Senate dismissed the articles, and H.R. 2, a piece of legislation integral to the Republican agenda that called for securing the border and cracking down on illegal immigration.<\/p>\n<p>This isn&rsquo;t the first time the Tennessee Republican has tried to leave Capitol Hill.<\/p>\n<p>Green decided in February 2024 that he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/2857479\/mark-green-retirement-congress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">would not seek reelection<\/a> that November. However, after being flooded with calls from constituents and receiving pressure from Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and President Donald Trump, the Tennessee congressman decided to reverse his decision and remain.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans are looking to pass the &ldquo;big, beautiful&rdquo; reconciliation bill out of Congress and send it to Trump&rsquo;s desk by July 4, meaning Green could be retiring as early as this month, but more likely in early July.<\/p>\n<p>With Johnson only able to lose three votes on a piece of legislation to pass it along party lines, Republicans will be desperate to have a special election to fill Green&rsquo;s seat. With Green&rsquo;s retirement, Johnson&rsquo;s majority will narrow to just two seats.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/2899133\/mark-green-looks-ahead-reversing-decision-retire-congress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">MARK GREEN LOOKS AHEAD AFTER REVERSING RETIREMENT FROM CONGRESS: &lsquo;BIG, BIG THINGS&rsquo;<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Green&rsquo;s district is considered solidly Republican, so it is all but assured the seat will remain in GOP hands.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <script data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/cdn-cgi\/scripts\/5c5dd728\/cloudflare-static\/email-decode.min.js\"><\/script><script>!function(){var g=window;g.googletag=g.googletag||{},g.googletag.cmd=g.googletag.cmd||[],g.googletag.cmd.push(function(){g.googletag.pubads().setTargeting(\"has-featured-video\",\"true\")})}();<\/script><script>var _bp=_bp||[];_bp.push({\"div\":\"Brid_2144103\",\"obj\":{\"id\":\"27789\",\"width\":\"1280\",\"height\":\"720\",\"stickyDirection\":\"below\",\"video\":\"2144103\"}});<\/script><script defer src=\"https:\/\/services.brid.tv\/player\/build\/brid.min.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mark Green to resign early from House after reconciliation vote<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2648,"featured_media":2445055,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/AP25140611018026.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651,538],"tags":[32304,40872,32603,55638,7620],"class_list":["post-2445054","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","category-washington-examiner","tag-house-of-representatives","tag-mark-green","tag-political-news","tag-reconciliation-vote","tag-retirement"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/AP25140611018026.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2445054","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2648"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2445054"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2445054\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2445058,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2445054\/revisions\/2445058"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2445055"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2445054"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2445054"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2445054"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
