Georgia’s Special Election To Replace MTG Ends In A Run-Off Situation

It was election night in Georgia on Tuesday night.

Georgia residents in the 14th Congressional District hit the polls on Tuesday to vote for former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene’s replacement.

Rep. Greene resigned from Congress on January 5th.

However, there was no clear winner because neither the Republican candidates nor the Democrat candidates reached the 50% threshold needed, resulting in a future runoff.

Fox 5 Atlanta reported the final results of the race and who ran:

The race to see who will replace former U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene appears to be headed for a runoff.

No one reached the threshold of 50 plus one votes to outright take Georgia’s 14th Congressional District.

The free-for-all special election was held on Tuesday with a total of 17 candidates, down from the initial 22, vying for the seat. Among those candidates were 12 Republicans on Tuesday’s ballot.

Harris is a retired Brigadier General and cattle farmer. As the 2024 Democratic nominee, he was the most recognized Democrat in the race, focusing on healthcare, rural infrastructure, and veterans’ affairs.

Fuller, who was endorsed by President Donald Trump, is the former district attorney for the Lookout Mountain Judicial Circuit and an Air Force veteran. His platform focuses on “law and order,” border security, and leveraging his experience as a prosecutor.

Harris pulled nearly 37% of the vote, leading Fuller’s 35%. That means about 28% of the voters opted for another candidate. It will now be that spread that will make the decision in the runoff, if they show up.
