Marjorie Taylor Greene has become the first supporter of the far-right QAnon conspiracy theory to win a US House seat.
Greene, a Republican businesswoman, was declared the winner in Georgia's 14th congressional district, the AP reported. Greene's Democratic opponent had dropped out in September.
During an August primary runoff, Greene was up against John Cowan, a pro-Trump conservative opposed to abortion rights.
Still, during the primary, Greene's campaign received support from groups connected to Mark Meadows, the White House chief of staff, the board chairman of the prominent conservative thinktank the Heritage Foundation, and numerous GOP mega-donors.
