Trump-endorsed Clay Fuller has won the special election in Georgia to replace former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Fuller defeated Democrat Shawn Harris to fill the empty House seat in Georgia’s 14th Congressional District, a Republican stronghold. With approximately 92 percent of all votes counted, Fuller held a 57 percent to 43 percent lead over Harris.

“The Democrat Party poured millions of dollars into this campaign. Poured lies into this campaign. But they can’t beat Donald Trump,” Fuller stated following his victory.

“He was the difference maker,” Fuller told reporters after the election. “He was the key factor in us winning…. Our results prove that President Trump means a ton to Georgia-14.”

The seat became vacant when Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene stepped down at the beginning of January, following a bitter falling out with President Trump.

The special election occurred as Republicans cling to a razor-thin 218–214 majority in the House. GOP leaders emphasized securing this district, which Trump carried by 37 points in his 2024 presidential campaign.

“It’s extremely crucial, and we need the reinforcements,” Fuller said on the eve of the runoff election.

Fuller, a local district attorney and lieutenant colonel in the Air National Guard with service in the U.S. Air Force since 2009, added that voters in Georgia’s 14th District “understand” his message and are “looking forward to sending a MAGA America first fighter up on Capitol Hill.”

Harris, who lost Greene by about 29 points in the 2024 election, expressed confidence in capturing the seat in November: “The thing I want to tell you is this, as far as I’m concerned, you heard me say earlier when I was talking to all our supporters, we had a win tonight.”

The district, which covers a rural northwest corner of Georgia extending from Atlanta’s suburbs to the Appalachian mountains bordering Tennessee, has never been represented by a Democrat.
