Rep. Mark Green Reverses Retirement Decision Amid High Congressional Retirement Rate

After encouragement from Trump and constituents, Green aims to lead with big plans for the Homeland Security Committee.

Rep. Mark Green (R-TN), initially planning to retire, reverses decision after encouragement from Trump, constituents, and colleagues.
Green aims to lead the House Homeland Security Committee with big plans, including securing a Senate trial for impeached Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
Green's reversal marks him as the fourth House Republican to backtrack on retirement plans, amidst a high rate of congressional retirements.
Green's decision to stay is influenced by support from former President Trump and a sense of duty to address the border crisis.
Green's initial retirement was motivated by frustration with congressional inaction and a desire to fight Washington from outside.
