Trump-backed Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene wins re-election in Georgia

• After weathering a crowded primary and a high-profile Democratic challenge, her win shows that her constituent support remains strong.

Catch up quick: Flowers, an Army veteran and defense contractor, raised a staggering nearly $15 million in his long-shot bid. Greene pulled in close to $12 million.

The big picture: Both were among the top national congressional fundraisers in the country, indicating how nationalized the race has become given Greene's firebrand Trump-like style of politics.

What we're watching: After two years as a back-bencher in a Democratic-led House without committee assignments, Greene could now become a powerful figure in the Republican conference.

• House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) generated headlines by seating her directly behind him at an event in September to roll out the Republicans' midterm agenda, the "Commitment to America."

Last year, McCarthy said at a press conference that, in a Republican majority, Greene and Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) would both get their committee assignments back — and may even get "better" ones.
