LISTEN: Trump-endorsed Republican Clay Fuller and Democrat Shawn Harris are headed to a runoff in Georgia's 14th District to fill Marjorie Taylor Greene's seat. GPB's Sarah Kallis has more.
Republican Clay Fuller and Democrat Shawn Harris will advance to a runoff in the race to replace former U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.
No candidate was able to break the 50% threshold to avoid a runoff in the 14th Congressional District race, so the top two vote-getters will be on the ballot again next month.
Harris carried the Democratic vote in the district and received the most votes of any candidate in the race. He challenged Greene for her seat in 2024 as well. He is a veteran and ran on a platform centered around affordability.
Daiva MacKenzie, an Acworth voter, says she voted for Harris because she thought he would garner the most support as a Democrat.
"I wanted to make sure that there was enough support to force the runoff," she said.
Fuller, a district attorney from North Georgia, got the second-most votes. He was endorsed by President Donald Trump last month and promised voters he would champion the president's agenda in Congress.
"We will never stop fighting for the MAGA movement and President Donald Trump," he said at a rally with Trump on Feb. 19.
The district is considered a Republican stronghold. Greene won overwhelmingly every time she ran in the district.
The runoff will be held April 7.
Greene vacated her seat Jan. 5 after a public falling out with Trump over the release of documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffery Epstein, and her district will be without representation in Congress for more than three months.
