President Donald Trump may have expected his endorsement of a local prosecutor in the race to replace U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene to clear the Republican field. Instead, more than a dozen Republicans are still competing, turning this deeply conservative corner of Georgia into an election-year test of Trump’s hold on his Make America Great Again movement.
Clay Fuller, the former district attorney for four counties in northwest Georgia, became the presumptive frontrunner after Trump threw his support behind him on February 4, describing him as a torchbearer of MAGA.
