Republican Rep. Mark Green of Tennessee‚ who announced earlier this month that he would not seek re-election‚ has now reversed course and declared that he will run for another term."While my strong desire was to leave Congress at the end of this year‚ since my announcement‚ I have received countless calls from constituents‚ colleagues‚ and President Trump urging me to reconsider‚" the lawmaker said in a statement‚ according to reports. "I was reminded of the words of General MacArthur on a statue at West Point: 'Duty‚ honor‚ country.' I realized‚ once again: I had a duty to my country to fulfill. I will be running for re-election so I can be here on Day 1 next year to help President Trump end this border crisis once and for all."In a post on Truth Social on Thursday‚ former President Donald Trump said that if Green ran for re-election he would endorse the lawmaker's bid."Mark Green has had lots of options because of his political talents‚ and the great job he has done as a Congressman‚ but given the fantastic work he's doing as Chairman of the Homeland Security Committee‚ I hope he runs for Re-Election to the U.S. House of Representatives. If he does‚ he has my Complete and Total Endorsement!" Trump declared.Earlier this month‚ when revealing his intent not to seek re-election‚ Green had said in a statement‚ "Our country–and our Congress–is broken beyond most means of repair. I have come to realize our fight is not here within Washington‚ our fight is with Washington. As I have done my entire life‚ I will continue serving this country–but in a new capacity."Green has served in Congress since 2019.Like Blaze News?
