Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene announced she will resign from Congress on January 5, citing partisan divisions and criticism over her recent positions. Georgia is expected to hold a special election to replace her.
Greene announced her resignation in a video posted to X, saying that lawmakers should be able to vote their conscience and represent their districts. She said partisan division was harming the country and objected to being called a traitor after supporting the release of the Epstein files. The article also says she had advocated continuing healthcare credits during the shutdown.
The article reports that Greene plans to leave Congress on January 5 and has denied aspirations to hold higher office. It says Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp will have 10 days after her resignation to call a special election, which the state must hold within 30 days after that.
