Georgia Special Election Heads to Runoff Between Trump-Backed Candidate and Democrat

A special election to replace Marjorie Taylor Greene's vacant House seat in Georgia's 14th Congressional District has gone to a runoff between Republican candidate endorsed by Trump and Democrat, with the winner to be decided next month. The election marks a surprise as the initial contest was expected to yield a clear victor. The outcome will determine who will represent the solidly red district for the remainder of the term. A runoff is typically required when no candidate secures more than 50% of the vote in a first-round election.
