The race to succeed former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) is headed to a runoff on March 10 after a crowded primary field failed to produce a majority winner in a special election.

The Associated Press projected the runoff at 8:24 p.m. ET with 60 percent of the vote counted.

Republican Clay Fuller, the district attorney for the Lookout Mountain Judicial Circuit, and Democrat Shawn Harris, a retired brigadier general and cattle producer, will advance to the runoff in April.

Seventeen people, including 12 Republicans, competed for the seat in northwest Georgia’s 14th Congressional District.

Alongside Fuller, the field included former state Sen. Colton Moore, businessman Brian Stover, and former 14th District GOP chair Jim Tully.

President Donald Trump endorsed Fuller last month, writing in a Truth Social post that Fuller would “fight tirelessly” in Congress to grow the economy, cut taxes and regulations, promote U.S. manufacturing, expand American energy production, secure the border, and defend the Second Amendment.

Trump added that Fuller “knows the wisdom and courage required to defend our country, support our brave military and veterans, and ensure peace through strength.”

Fuller’s campaign platform emphasizes bringing higher-paying manufacturing jobs to northwest Georgia, supporting the mass deportation of illegal immigrants, protecting the Constitution, and taking a tough stance on crime.

Harris has centered his campaign on issues including agriculture, health care, the economy and cost of living, national and border security, and support for veterans.

Greene announced on Nov. 21 that she would step down from Congress, with her retirement taking effect Jan. 5.

In a video and lengthy statement posted to social media, Greene said her decision was driven by a fallout with Trump.

“I have too much self-respect and dignity, love my family way too much, and do not want my sweet district to have to endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the president we all fought for,” Greene said.

She added that she did not want to win reelection only to see Republicans potentially lose control of Congress in the midterms and then be expected to defend Trump during a possible impeachment fight.

Greene said she had “fought harder than almost any other elected Republicans” to help elect Trump, even while disagreeing with the administration in “a few areas.”

“Loyalty should be a two-way street, and we should be able to vote our conscience and represent our district’s interests because our job title is literally ‘Representative,’” she said.

Trump withdrew his support for Greene the week before she announced her retirement.
