After Marjorie Taylor Greene resigned, Georgia’s 14th District faces a special election to choose her successor. The article reports that her feud with President Donald Trump was central to her decision and describes the district’s priorities and likely partisan contest.
Greene said in a Friday video that Trump’s promised support for a primary challenger and their feud were behind her resignation. The article says their disagreements had included the budget bill, Affordable Care Act subsidies and the release of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein; Trump called Greene a “traitor” again after her resignation.
A special election set by Gov. Brian Kemp could take place as early as February or March, and the article expects a crowded field. Local Republican Party Chairman Ricky Hess emphasized economic concerns and the importance of choosing a representative who understands the district. State Sen. Sonya Halpern described the district as strongly Republican while saying the election could offer a measure of the state’s political climate.
