US EditionGreene's Resignation Could Lead to 'Dominoes Falling' Under Gold Dome
Greene cited Congress's irrelevance due to shutdowns and executive dominance; her exit lowers GOP seats to 218, tightening Speaker Johnson's control amid a competitive special election.
- On November 25, 2025, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene announced in a video and resignation letter she will leave office on Jan. 5, prompting Gov. Brian Kemp to call a special election for Georgia's 14th Congressional District.
- Citing an eight-week shutdown and campaign-season constraints, Greene wrote that Congress has been rendered irrelevant, a gripe shared by senior Republican appropriators frustrated with the White House.
- With Greene gone, the House majority shifts to 219 Republicans, narrowing margins for Speaker Mike Johnson, who can now lose only one member on party-line votes.

- Next week, voters in Tennessee's seventh congressional district will go to the polls for a special election that could be decided on December 2; outside groups have spent $4 million and Democratic nominee Aftyn Behn has raised $1.2 million versus the GOP's under $1 million.
