Voters went to the polls on Tuesday mindful of the feud. They had the dizzying task of choosing from 17 candidates, both Democrat and Republican.
Some Republicans used Trump’s endorsement to guide their own vote, wanting a more reliable fighter for the president they support.
Marsha Miles “would have voted for Fuller anyway”, she told the BBC outside a polling place in Rome, but Trump’s endorsement signalled he was the right choice.
But she also chose Fuller because “of his morals, what he stands for, and his military service”.
Fuller ran on a platformed that echoed Trump’s priorities of mass deportation, increased domestic manufacturing, and a tough-on-crime stance.
“He’s the perfect choice for representation in this area,” said Teresa Lumsden, who attended his election night party.
Meanwhile, Democrats in the district hoped to flip the seat after six years of Greene’s representation by electing Harris, a retired brigadier general and local farmer.
Sheila Hutchings, a Democrat, voted for Harris because she wanted “a more positive” personality who would “speak kindly” to all constituents regardless of party.
