Marjorie Taylor Greene officially resigned from Congress on Monday after five years representing Georgia’s 14th District. Her departure triggers a special election, with no replacement candidate endorsed by Greene.
Greene, who first took office in 2021, announced in November that she would resign after public disagreements with President Donald Trump. She submitted her resignation letter to Georgia Governor Brian Kemp over the weekend and wrote that serving the district had been an honor.
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said a special election will take place in the coming months. Greene has not endorsed a successor, and the article says her departure could affect Republicans in Georgia. It also notes that Greene has denied plans to run for president in 2028.
