NBC News projected Republican Clay Fuller the winner of Georgia’s special election to fill Marjorie Taylor Greene’s former House seat, defeating Democrat Shawn Harris in a runoff. The result will fill the remainder of Greene’s term in the 14th District.
NBC News projected Fuller as the winner of Tuesday’s runoff against Harris. With more than 85% of the expected vote counted, Fuller led by 15 points, 57.5% to 42.5%. The runoff followed a crowded primary in which no candidate won a majority; Harris had received slightly more votes than Fuller in that primary, while the Republican vote was split among 17 candidates.
Fuller campaigned on his support for President Donald Trump and highlighted his work as a prosecutor and military service. Harris raised $6.4 million and ran ads criticizing politicians from both parties. The article also recounts Greene’s resignation and reports a dispute at a Republican candidate forum over whether Fuller had received support from groups affiliated with AIPAC; campaign finance reports did not make that clear.
