Overview
- Pete Buttigieg endorsed Democrat Shawn Harris, citing his military background and pledging support for his focus on drug costs, a farm bill, and protecting Medicare and Medicaid.
- President Trump campaigned in Rome, Georgia, and urged voters to support Republican Clay Fuller, reinforcing an endorsement he issued earlier this month.
- The all-candidate special election features more than a dozen contenders, including pro-Trump Republican Colton Moore, raising the odds no one secures a majority next month.
- Shawn Harris says he has received threats on the trail and is wearing a bulletproof vest at events, though he continues his campaign.
- Early voting began Feb. 16, Election Day is March 10, and a potential runoff is set for April 7, as Georgia also recorded a separate GOP win in a state Senate special election in District 18.
