"House GOP Leaders Abandoning Congress After Mayorkas Impeachment"

House Homeland Security Chair Rep. Mark Green, R-Tenn., announced his retirement from Congress after three terms, citing the impeachment of Secretary Mayorkas and a desire to return to his home district. Green, who oversaw Mayorkas' impeachment, expressed frustration with Washington and hinted at a potential run for governor in 2026. He is the fifth Republican committee chair to forgo re-election. The GOP primary to replace Green is scheduled for August 1, with former Nashville Mayor Megan Barry announcing her candidacy for Green's U.S. House seat as a Democrat.
