President Donald Trump has announced his endorsement of Lookout Mountain District Attorney Clay Fuller in the race to succeed Marjorie Taylor Greene in Georgia's 14th Congressional District. Fuller is one of 21 candidates competing for the seat, which was vacated after Greene's resignation in November 2025.

Why it matters

The endorsement from former President Trump is seen as a significant boost for Fuller's campaign, as the 14th District race is expected to be highly competitive and closely watched nationally. The winner of the special election, and likely subsequent runoff, may choose to run again in the May 2026 primary and, if victorious, the November general election.

The details

Fuller, a White House fellow in 2018-2019 and a Lieutenant Colonel in the Air National Guard, is one of 21 candidates vying to succeed Marjorie Taylor Greene in Georgia's 14th Congressional District. Governor Brian Kemp has set a March 10, 2026 special election date, with a runoff scheduled for April 8, 2026 if needed. Greene announced her resignation on November 21, 2025, citing disillusionment with the nation's current political climate and a recent political split with President Trump.
