WASHINGTON (AA) - Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp set a March 10 special election to fill the vacant 14th Congressional District seat after the resignation of US Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Greene stepped down Monday, ending her five-year run as the district’s representative.

Greene, one of President Donald Trump's most vocal Republican allies, announced her resignation in late November, citing frustration with the "Political Industrial Complex" in Washington.

The dispute escalated after Greene broke with Trump on efforts to force the release of Justice Department files related to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Greene pushed for full transparency of the documents, criticizing Trump's reversal on the issue.

She accused Trump of trying to prevent the release of the files, saying her push for full transparency was at the heart of their rift.

Trump withdrew his endorsement of Greene and called her "wacky" and a "ranting lunatic." He expressed pleasure at her resignation, calling it "great news for the country."
