April 7 (Reuters) – Republican Clay Fuller, a former prosecutor endorsed by President Donald Trump, on Tuesday won a runoff election in Georgia to replace conservative firebrand Marjorie Taylor Greene in the U.S. House of Representatives, NBC News projected.
Fuller, a former district attorney in northwest Georgia, defeated Shawn Harris, a moderate Democrat who had been trying to win over disaffected Trump voters, in the two-way race to represent the state’s most conservative district.
Tuesday’s runoff was triggered after no candidates secured an outright majority in a March 10 special election, held after Greene resigned from Congress in January amid a public rupture with Trump.
