Republican leaders in Georgia are concerned that a Democrat may end up winning Greene’s vacated seat due to an exceptionally crowded special election.
The March election to replace Georgia’s Marjorie Taylor Greene features 21 candidates, 16 of them Republicans.
The crowded field prompted Republican officials in Georgia’s 14th District to warn that too many candidates could mean a Democratic candidate could win the election.
Trump has already thrown his support behind Clay Fuller, who is the district attorney for four counties in northwest Georgia.
While a presidential endorsement would previously have been coveted, Trump’s recent support in special and off-year elections has not resulted in victories.
Postindustrial recently spoke with one of the Democratic candidates seeking to win Taylor’s seat, Army veteran and cattle rancher Shawn Harris.
This is the second time Harris has run for Georgia’s 14th District, having lost to Greene in 2024, though he did garner more than 100,000 votes in a district that includes the Atlanta suburbs and a large swath of rural Northwest Georgia.
