Republicans Clay Fuller, district attorney endorsed by Trump, is hoping to avoid an April 7 runoff, which would be necessary if no candidate wins a majority of votes in the district that stretches across 10 counties from suburban Atlanta to the Tennessee state line.
He was coming in as the big 1/7 favorite to win the Georgia-14 Special Election to fill the spot once held by Marjorie Taylor Greene, who resigned late this past year. That's an 88 percent probability of winning.
Colton Moore, a former member of the Georgia General Assembly, was running 15 points behind Fuller in the odds at 8-1.
“We need to win this thing on March 10 and send an America First warrior to fight for President Trump,” Fuller told a crowd in Rome, Georgia, on Feb. 19 before a speech by Trump.
Despite being such a massive favorite, Fuller is going up against 12 Republicans, three Democrats, a Libertarian and an independent running in the all-party special election. That makes a runoff all but certain.
The winner will serve out the remaining months of Greene’s term. But if they want to remain in Congress beyond next January, they will have to run again. Republicans and Democrats seeking a full two-year term are set for a May 19 party primary, and possibly a June 16 party runoff, before advancing to the general election in November.
Here are the most up-to-date numbers ahead of tomorrow's vote:
Georgia-14 Special Election Odds
Clay Fuller 1/7
Colton Moore 8/1
Shawn Harris 8/1
Brian Stover 14/1
Nicky Lama 25/1
Tom Gray 33/1
Star Black 66/1
Jim Tully 100/1
