Republican Clay Fuller and Democrat Shawn Harris are competing in a runoff to fill the Georgia House seat vacated by Marjorie Taylor Greene. Fuller has President Donald Trump’s endorsement, while Harris is seeking an upset in a district described as strongly Republican-leaning.
Harris led the first round of the all-party special election with 37% of the vote, while Fuller finished second with 35%. Republican candidates together received nearly 60%, and the district is rated Georgia’s most Republican-leaning by the Cook Political Report. Fuller, a district attorney and former White House fellow, has strongly backed Trump; Trump endorsed him and renewed his support before the runoff.
Harris, a cattle farmer and retired general who lost to Greene in 2024, describes himself as a practical-minded “dirt-road Democrat” and argues that Fuller cannot oppose Trump. The winner will serve the remaining months of Greene’s term. To stay in Congress beyond January, the winner will need to run again in the regular election cycle.

17 OUTLETSOutlets agree that Republican Clay Fuller defeated Democrat Shawn Harris in the Georgia 14th District special-election runoff, winning the seat formerly held by Marjorie Taylor Greene. Left-leaning outlets connect the race to Trump’s influence and the Iran war, while treating Harris’s performance as a possible sign of Democratic gains in conservative areas. Center outlets focus on the seat’s effect on the narrow House majority and use the race to assess voter views on Iran, with some noting Democratic overperformance. Right-leaning outlets present Fuller’s win as a Republican hold that reinforces the GOP majority, while some note Harris’s improved showing.
