Early voting has commenced for the special election to fill the vacant House of Representatives seat previously held by Marjorie Taylor Greene in Georgia's 14th Congressional District. Greene resigned from her position earlier this year, citing differences with her political party and President Trump. Dozens of candidates, including pro-Trump state senator Colton Moore, are now competing for the open seat.

Why it matters

The resignation of Marjorie Taylor Greene, a controversial and high-profile Republican figure, has created an open House seat in a solidly conservative district. The special election to fill this vacancy is likely to be closely watched as it could provide insight into the current state of the Republican party and the influence of former President Trump within it.

The details

In November 2025, Greene posted a video on 'X' stating that she is stepping down. The president went on Truth Social, saying he was withdrawing his support and endorsement for Greene. Trump claimed the conservative had gone "far left," adding that he's only seen her complain. Now, a handful of contenders are vying for the seat, including Pro-Trump state senator Colton Moore, who was arrested earlier last year during the State of the State address and charged with willful obstruction of law enforcement officers.

• Early voting for the special election began on Monday, February 16, 2026.
• The former congresswoman, Marjorie Taylor Greene, resigned earlier this year.
