Clay Fuller won the Georgia House seat vacated by Marjorie Taylor Greene, defeating Democrat Shawn Harris after Harris led the first round of voting. President Donald Trump had endorsed Fuller, whose support for Trump’s position on the Iran war drew attention.
Fuller won Greene’s former seat in Georgia’s 14th Congressional District. Harris had led the March first round in a 17-candidate field, but the article says he could not overcome the district’s Republican tilt. Trump endorsed Fuller in February; Fuller had backed Trump, including on the war in Iran.
Greene resigned in January after falling out with Trump. In a social media post on Tuesday, she criticized his involvement in the war, saying he was elected to end U.S. involvement in foreign wars, not to wage one on behalf of Israel.
