Did Trump influence Georgia House race? Top two candidates disagree
USA TODAY
Democrat Shawn Harris and Republican Clay Fuller are headed to a runoff in Georgia to replace MTG, but they disagree on sway Trump had in the race.
ROME, Ga. — After weeks of lead up to the special election in Georgia's 14th congressional district to replace former congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, the race will continue with a runoff.
Election day brought tens of thousands of voters in northwest Georgia to the polls on Tuesday, but after results started to flow in, it was clear there would not be a winner declared that night.
Democrat Shawn Harris took home the highest percentage of votes overall, 37.33%, but far from the 51% majority needed to claim the win. Republican Clay Fuller came in second overall with 34.87% of the vote, just shy of 3,000 votes short of Harris' lead.
The election comes just two full weeks after President Trump visited Rome, Georgia to endorse Fuller in person and speak on tariffs and a variety of other topics at a steel warehouse facility.
