More than a dozen candidates are competing in a Georgia special election to replace Marjorie Taylor Greene, with Donald Trump’s endorsement of Clay Fuller adding a test of his influence among Republicans. The crowded field makes an April runoff likely, and Democrat Shawn Harris is expected to advance.
The race for Georgia’s 14th Congressional District is a special election with candidates of both parties on one ballot. Trump endorsed Republican Clay Fuller and appeared in the district with him; the article describes the endorsement as a test of Trump’s influence over the party. Republican Colton Moore is also presenting himself as aligned with Trump.
The article says the crowded field makes an April 7 runoff likely because a candidate must win at least half the vote to avoid one. Observers expect Democrat Shawn Harris to reach the runoff, though the article says he could place first if Republican votes are divided. It also notes recent Democratic gains in Georgia and other contests while saying Republicans are likely to unite behind the Republican runoff candidate.
