Clay Fuller holds on to Marjorie Taylor Greene’s seat in Georgia in a special election that at least gave the Democrats a consolation prize, he failed to win by as great a margin as Greene did in the election prior.

While everyone was focused on Iran on Tuesday evening, Republicans in Georgia were retaining a seat in the House of Representatives. Donald Trump-backed Clayton Fuller officially won the Georgia 14th special election runoff. He will replace Marjorie Taylor Greene — who, if you’ll remember, vacated the seat on January 3 after a public falling out with the president — and carry out the rest of her term.

This comes after Trump reminded voters of his support for Fuller on social media on Monday. “I am asking all Republicans, America First Patriots, and MAGA Warriors, to please GET OUT AND VOTE for a fantastic Candidate, Clay Fuller, who has my Complete and Total Endorsement!” he said.
Fuller beat Democrat Shawn Harris, a cattle farmer and retired Army brigadier general, but the win isn’t a huge surprise. Georgia’s 14th district, which sits in the northwestern corner of the state, is one of the reddest in the country. However, there was some concern about turnout.
