Marjorie Taylor Greene is moving to a runoff after Greene\u2019s resignation.In the jungle primary, Clay Fuller, the district attorney for the Lookout Mountain Judicial Circuit, advanced to the runoff, while NBC News\u2019 results showed him in second place behind Democrat Shawn Harris (about 37.3% to 34.9%). The article notes this can be misleading because four of the top five vote-getters were Republicans, adn Cheryl Moore and Brian Stover\u2019s combined shares could push Fuller over the 50% threshold, underscoring how the jungle primary format complicates interpretation of the initial results.<\/p>\n<p>The piece also <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >covers political dynamics<\/a> around the race. It highlights a notable Trump endorsement of Fuller and Trump\u2019s public support messages, alongside MTG\u2019s public departure from Congress and Trump\u2019s response to her resignation. Fuller\u2019s background is detailed: a former White House Fellow who served in the Office of the Vice President and the Department of Defense, and who later worked as a legal adviser in U.S. Central Command operations. The article frames Fuller as the pro\u2011Trump candidate favored to win in the runoff, noting MTG\u2019s criticisms of Trump and the broader intra\u2011party tensions. The runoff is scheduled for April 7, with expectations that Fuller could become the district\u2019s next congressman given the district\u2019s pro\u2011Trump lean.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Former U.S. Rep.

In Georgia\u2019s 14th District special election, Fuller, who serves as the district attorney for the Lookout Mountain Judicial Circuit, advanced to a runoff after a jungle primary in which he trailed Democrat Shawn Harris by a small margin in the official count but benefited from the overall Republican vote share. With four of the top five finishers being Republicans, Fuller could reach the 50-percent threshold in the runoff simply because the GOP vote remains split among multiple candidates.<\/p>\n<p>The runoff is scheduled for April 7, and Fuller is considered the heavy favorite, a status bolstered by former President Donald Trump\u2019s endorsement. Trump praised Fuller\u2019s strengths and framed the upcoming vote as a chance to ensure a strong, pro-Trump representative in the district. Some voters cited the endorsement as influential in their decision.<\/p>\n<p>Fuller previously ran for this seat in 2020, finishing behind Greene, who had been a rising GOP figure but grew increasingly controversial. Greene\u2019s tenure included controversy over her foreign-policy positions and conspiratorial focus on Jeffrey Epstein, and she publicly clashed with Trump, who later criticized her. Greene announced she would resign in January amid those tensions, and Trump responded by accusing her of flailing in the race.<\/p>\n<p>Fuller\u2019s r\u00e9sum\u00e9 includes a White House Fellowship under President Trump (2018-2019), work in the Office of the Vice President and the Department of Defense, and roles related to counterterrorism and the opioid crisis. He also served as a legal adviser to U.S. Central Command in the Middle East and has received military honors. By contrast, Greene\u2019s recent public remarks have continued to reflect her characteristic combative, ideologically hardline style.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the piece portrays Fuller as a candidate more closely aligned with Trump\u2019s agenda and able to capitalize on the current political climate in a district that Trump carried decisively in 2024. The narrative uses sharp language about Greene\u2019s exit and emphasizes the strategic advantage Fuller\u2019s endorsement provides in the upcoming runoff<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2578790,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Fuller-with-Trump.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[6203,74117,3634],"class_list":["post-2578789","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-gop","tag-marjorie-taylor-greene-2","tag-trump"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Fuller-with-Trump.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2578789","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2578789"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2578789\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2578793,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2578789\/revisions\/2578793"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2578790"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2578789"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2578789"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2578789"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
