Clay Fuller and Shawn Harris advanced to an April 7 runoff in the special election to replace Marjorie Taylor Greene. Fuller benefited from Donald Trump’s endorsement, while Harris led him in the reported vote count.
NBC News projected that Republican Clay Fuller and Democrat Shawn Harris would advance from a 22-candidate field to a runoff for the vacant Georgia seat. With 52% of the expected vote counted, Harris had 41% and Fuller 33%; the runoff was scheduled for April 7. The article described Fuller as the favorite in a district Donald Trump carried by 37 percentage points in 2024.
The article reported that Trump endorsed Fuller and that former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg endorsed Harris. Republican Colton Moore was in third place with less than 10% of the vote. Marjorie Taylor Greene resigned in January after breaking with Trump over his handling of records related to the federal investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.
