Republican Clay Fuller defeated Democrat Sean Harris in a Georgia special election to replace Marjorie Taylor Greene. The result fills the remainder of Greene’s term, with the candidates also qualified for their parties’ May primary ballots.
The Associated Press called the special-election race for Fuller, who defeated Harris by about 14 percentage points. Fuller had received President Trump’s endorsement; the report says national Republican PACs spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on his campaign, while Harris’s campaign received thousands of dollars from outside Georgia.
The report says Greene resigned after disagreements with Trump and notes that Harris’s margin was smaller than his loss to Greene in 2024. Because the special election filled only the remainder of Greene’s term, a Fuller-Harris rematch may follow in November; both candidates qualified for their party’s May primary ballot.
