Republican Clay Fuller Sworn In to Replace Marjorie Taylor Greene in US House
Republican Clay Fuller was officially sworn into the US House of Representatives on April 14, 2026, following a special election victory in Georgia's northwest district. The ceremony, held on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., featured House Speaker Mike Johnson administering the oath of office while Fuller’s wife, Kate Fuller, held the Bible. Fuller assumes the seat previously occupied by Marjorie Taylor Greene, who resigned after a contentious public fallout with former President Donald Trump. By securing this position, Fuller helps maintain the Republican Party's slim majority in the House for the remainder of Greene’s term. Known for his strong alignment with Trump, Fuller addressed his constituents and colleagues, describing himself as a 'warrior' ready to fight for his district while expressing willingness to work with Democratic counterparts. This political transition underscores ongoing shifts within the Republican party and the enduring influence of Trump-aligned figures in congressional politics. The event marks a significant moment in the 2026 legislative session, ensuring continued GOP control in a closely divided chamber.
