ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) — In one of the most stunning political developments Georgia has seen this century, U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene announced her resignation from Congress late Friday night.

Greene, who was elected to the 14th congressional district in 2020 and overwhelmingly re-elected since, said she was resigning over her disillusionment with the nation’s current political climate, stemming from a political split with President Donald Trump.

According to Article 1, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution, no temporary appointments to the seat are allowed. All House vacancies must be filled by an election, regardless of when the representative resigns.
