With his resignation, the Republicans can be traced back to a majority of 219-212 in the house, at least until his seat in the solid red district is filled.
His resignation will be effective on July 20.

Green, chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, said he returned to the private sector to found his own company, but did not give any details about the business.
“Although I can't give the details here, I will do something specifically to help America compete against the KPCH [Chinese Communist Party]But this time in business, “said Green in a video on X.
