Voters in Georgia's 14th Congressional District went to the polls Tuesday to select a replacement for Marjorie Taylor Greene, who resigned from Congress in January following a dispute with President Donald Trump.

The special election features 17 candidates, including 12 Republicans, three Democrats, one Libertarian and one independent. Leading Republican contenders include Clay Fuller, a district attorney endorsed by Trump, and Colton Moore, a former state senator who resigned to run for the seat. Democrat Shawn Harris, a cattle farmer and retired general, is also seeking the position.

If no candidate receives a majority of votes, the race will advance to an April 7 runoff. The winner will serve the remaining months of Greene's term through January. However, candidates seeking a full two-year term must run again in separate elections, with Republican and Democratic primaries scheduled for May 19 and the general election in November.

The 14th District, which spans 10 counties from suburban Atlanta to the Tennessee border, is considered the most Republican-leaning district in Georgia according to the Cook Political Report. Greene won the seat decisively in 2020 with a hard-right campaign after relocating from a more competitive district.

Greene, one of Congress's most prominent members until her departure, remained loyal to Trump after his 2020 election loss and actively supported his 2024 campaign. However, tensions emerged when Trump and other Republicans opposed her potential runs for Senate or governor. Greene later criticized Trump's foreign policy positions and his handling of Jeffrey Epstein-related documents, prompting Trump to support a primary challenge against her.

The seat's outcome will affect the narrow Republican majority in the House, where the party currently holds 218 seats compared to 214 for Democrats.
