Elections in the South on Tuesday showed the power of President Donald Trump’s endorsement and the political strength of a senior Democratic congressman who easily beat back a younger challenger.
In Georgia, voters narrowed a crowded field in a special election to replace Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Republican who abruptly resigned from her U.S. House seat after clashing with Trump and arguing he had veered from his “America First” promises. Clay Fuller, Trump’s favored candidate, and a Democrat advanced to an April 7 runoff after no candidate received a majority of the vote.
