On April 7, 2026, Democrats got another shot at the district once held by Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Special election.
Lower turnout.
National attention.
An opponent people love to hate.
For a moment, the story wrote itself:
Maybe this is the one.
This time—it almost looked believable.
And that’s exactly why this race is dangerous.
The Result
Here’s what actually happened:
Republican: 55.9% (72,304 votes)
Democrat: 44.1% (57,030 votes)
Margin: R +12
That is a dramatic improvement over prior cycles.
And it still wasn’t close enough to win.
