Clay Fuller, a Trump-endorsed Republican, won the special election for Georgia’s 14th Congressional District, succeeding Marjorie Taylor Greene.

In a special election to fill the congressional seat vacated by Marjorie Taylor Greene, Republican Clay Fuller narrowly defeated Democrat Shawn Harris, winning 57.2% of the vote to Harris’s 42.8%.
