Overview
Clay Fuller and Shawn Harris advanced to an April 7 runoff to fill Marjorie Taylor Greene's vacant 14th Congressional District seat after no candidate secured a majority.
The special election followed Greene's resignation in January and featured a crowded field with 22 candidates filing and 17 appearing on Tuesday's ballot, officials said.
Fuller campaigned with and repeatedly cited President Donald Trump's "complete and total endorsement" as a boost to his bid.
With about 89% of expected votes counted, Harris led with roughly 37% and Fuller had about 35%, denying either candidate an outright win, officials said.
The April 7 runoff winner will serve the remainder of Greene's term and could affect the House Republican margin, which sources said stood at 217 Republicans to 214 Democrats.
