According to reports from the Associated Press and The New York Times, 44-year-old Republican Fuller defeated Democratic opponent Shawn Harris in the runoff election today, winning the seat for Georgia's northwestern 14th congressional district. In the first round of elections last month on the 10th, 17 candidates participated, including 12 Republicans. Harris and Fuller advanced to the runoff with 37% and 35% of the votes, respectively.
In today's runoff, Fuller consolidated Republican support and successfully won in one of Georgia's most conservative districts.
Fuller's victory injects a strong boost into the Republican Party's slim majority in the U.S. House of Representatives, but he will still need to run in the midterm elections later this year to secure a full two-year term.
Greene was one of President Trump's strongest supporters in the past, but resigned in January this year after a falling out with Trump.
She continued to criticize Trump after her resignation, writing on social media today: "Trump was elected because he advocated fighting the deep state and ending America's involvement in overseas wars, not to fight wars overseas on behalf of Israel, or even threaten to annihilate an entire civilization."
Unlike Greene, Fuller fully supports Trump, including his stance on the war with Iran. When asked during a debate on March 23 whether he had any disagreements with Trump, he stated complete agreement.
