The margin exceeds 15,000 votes with all precincts reporting. Harris, a retired Army brigadier general, forced the runoff by topping the March 10 jungle primary with 37% to Fuller's 35%.
| Candidate | Party | Votes | Pct. |
|---|
| Clay Fuller | Republican | 72,304 | 55.9% |

Fuller's win came despite Harris's early lead in the initial round. Republicans combined for nearly 60% in the 21-candidate field.
Trump Endorsement Seals Deal in Northwest Georgia
President Donald Trump endorsed Fuller, calling him the choice to replace Greene, who resigned in January after clashing with Trump over Epstein files. Fuller led most counties in the primary, topping 48% in Murray County and drawing 5,015 votes in Catoosa, per NewsChannel9 county breakdowns.
- Murray County: Fuller 48.01%
- Catoosa County: 5,015 votes
- Walker County: 43.48%
- Harris strongest in Whitfield County: 38.51% (4,840 votes)
Harris built support in Whitfield but couldn't overcome GOP turnout. Fuller's FEC filings show $787,000 raised.
Democrats Show Strength in GOP Stronghold
Harris outperformed expectations in a district rated most Republican in Georgia by the Cook Political Report. His primary win highlighted Democratic gains in specials since 2025, as noted by New York Times analysis. Still, Fuller enters as favorite for the full term.
Fuller now faces a Republican primary next month for the two-year term starting January 2027, per AJC reporting. The primary is May 19.
