Trump Weighs In After Special Election To Replace MTG Called – Page 4

Trump wrote that Fuller would be an “excellent” Republican representative. He also encouraged supporters to “finish the job” in the next vote.

The president noted that 12 Republican candidates competed in the election. Fuller received the highest percentage among them.

Georgia’s special election rules place all candidates on the same ballot. Party affiliation does not separate candidates during the first round.

In total, 22 candidates entered the race. Seventeen of those candidates were Republicans.

Because of the crowded field, a majority result was unlikely. Therefore, a runoff election was expected.

Republican Colton Moore finished third with about 12% of the vote. Moore previously served as a state senator.
