Clayton Fuller, a onetime district attorney who campaigned on his loyalty to President Donald Trump, won a special election runoff Tuesday for a House seat in Georgia but by a narrower margin than what Republicans have typically posted in the deep-red district.
Fuller turned back a challenge from Democrat Shawn Harris to claim Georgia’s 14th District, which has been vacant since the Jan. 5 resignation of former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Trump ally-turned-foe.
Fuller was leading Harris, a former Army brigadier general and cattle farmer, 54 percent to 46 percent when The Associated Press called the race shortly before 8:30 p.m. Eastern time.
