Amid Greene’s recent repudiation of Trump and much of the Republican Party, Fuller campaigned as a “MAGA warrior,” trying to “keep Georgia red.” Greene refused to endorse in the race to replace her. Her bitter falling out with Trump came over the Administration’s handling of the Epstein Files, Trump’s involvement in Israel’s war with Gaza, and the Administration’s conflicts with Iran.
“This [is] NOT what we promised the American people when they overwhelmingly voted in 2024,” Greene said on X on Sunday in response to Trump’s threats against Iran if its leaders do not open the Strait of Hormuz. On Tuesday, she described Trump’s threat to wipe out “a whole civilization” as “evil and madness.”
Tuesday’s special election serves as one of the first glimpses of how the war in Iran may be impacting voter decisions. While both Fuller and Harris are veterans, their opinions on Trump’s war differed wildly. During a March 23 debate, Fuller backed Trump wholly on Iran, saying that the U.S. was “safer” due to the President’s actions. “It is a death cult that cannot be negotiated with,” he said of Iran in the debate.
