March 11 (UPI) -- The House district formerly represented by Marjorie Taylor Greene in Georgia will see a runoff election in April as the vote count for a Democrat and a Republican is too close.
Republican Clay Fuller, who is endorsed by Trump, and Democrat Shawn Harris, were the top two vote-getters. Harris got 37% of the vote, while Fuller got 34%. But with the Republican vote split, Fuller is the favorite to win the runoff April 7. The district chose Trump in 2024 by 37 percentage points.
Greene, R-Ga., resigned her seat in the 14th district on Jan. 5 after battling with President Donald Trump. The seat has been left vacant since, and voters went to the polls on Tuesday in a special election to choose her replacement.
In Georgia, special elections rules require that all candidates are on the same ballot. This time, there were 22 candidates, 17 of whom were Republicans. But to win, a candidate has to get more than 50% of the vote, which didn't happen.
