The special election for former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-GA) seat is all but guaranteed to head to a runoff election, with nearly 20 candidates vying to win the race.
Seventeen active competitors will fight for the chance to represent Georgia’s 14th Congressional District, which is expected to remain in Republican hands, being a safe red seat. The winner will finish out Greene’s term until the November midterm elections.
Greene resigned from her seat after a major public fallout with President Donald Trump over rising healthcare costs and her support for the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files.
Georgia special elections do not hold primaries, meaning that every candidate will be on the ballot on Tuesday. The race will head into a runoff if none of the 17 candidates receive 50% of the votes.
