How the special election to replace Marjorie Taylor Greene is testing the power of Trump’s endorsement
President Donald Trump’s sway over the Republican Party faces a fresh test Tuesday with a free-for-all special election in northwest Georgia to replace Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Trump ally-turned-critic who vacated her seat in Congress in January.
TL;DR
- A special election in Georgia's 14th Congressional District tests President Trump's endorsement power.
- Clay Fuller received Trump's endorsement, but faces a crowded field of candidates, including Colton Moore and Tom Gray, who also claim 'America First' loyalty.
- There's concern that a Democrat, Shawn Harris, could reach the runoff, which could impact Trump's agenda.
- The outcome of this race could indicate the strength of Trump's influence within the Republican Party.
