Shawn Harris to face Clay Fuller in special election to replace Marjorie Taylor Greene in Congress
Hello and welcome to the US politics live blog.
The Democrat Shawn Harris will go head-to-head with Republican Clay Fuller in a run-off after they came out ahead in a special election to replace Marjorie Taylor Greene in Congress on Tuesday night.
The election for the state’s 14th congressional district has been seen as a test of Donald Trump’s sway and may provide a rare opportunity for Democrats in a deep-red pocket of north-west Georgia.
Former prosecutor Fuller has Trump’s endorsement and had raised more than $1m leading into voting on Tuesday, but Harris, a retired army general who faced Greene two years ago, has raised more than four times as much.
