A preview of the special election to replace Marjorie Taylor Greene examines whether President Trump's endorsement will help candidate Clay Fuller, as some Republican voters favor Colton Moore. The article says the top two candidates will advance to a runoff if no one wins more than half the vote.
The article describes the special election for Georgia's 14th Congressional District, which it says was left vacant after Greene resigned. It reports that Trump's endorsement of Fuller is a central factor in the race, while some voters say they prefer Moore to carry out Trump's agenda. Fuller described himself as a “MAGA warrior,” and Moore said he was “100% pro-Trump.”
The article also recounts Moore's arrest after he attempted to enter the Georgia House chambers and his call for action against Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. It says all candidates will appear on the same ballot and that the top two vote-getters will enter an April 7 runoff if no candidate exceeds 50% of the vote.

Center outlets report the matchup while weighing Trump’s influence and the possible House-majority stakes. Right-leaning outlets emphasize Trump’s support for Fuller, Republican unity behind him, and the seat’s possible effect on the GOP’s narrow House majority.
