Republican Clay Fuller won the special election for Georgia’s 14th Congressional District, defeating Democrat Shawn Harris and helping preserve the GOP’s narrow House majority. Fuller will need to run again later this year to secure a full term.
Fuller won the April 7 special election for the seat Marjorie Taylor Greene vacated. Harris had led the March first round, but the Republican candidates together had received nearly 60% of the vote. Fuller’s win bolsters the Republicans’ slim House majority, though the winner serves only the remaining months of Greene’s term and must run again to secure a full term.
The article reports that President Donald Trump endorsed Fuller, who said he backed Trump, including on the war in Iran. Some voters supported Fuller while expressing concern about the conflict; others backed Harris in part to send a message opposing Trump’s policies. Greene, who resigned after clashing with Trump, continued to criticize his foreign policy.

21 OUTLETSOutlets agree Republican Clay Fuller defeated Democrat Shawn Harris in the Georgia 14th District special runoff for Marjorie Taylor Greene’s former House seat. Left-leaning outlets cast Harris as a possible seat-flipper before the vote and treat his showing afterward as evidence of Democratic strength. Center outlets report Fuller’s win while also weighing what Harris’s narrower margin could mean for November and House control. Right-leaning outlets emphasize the Republican win, with some coverage foregrounding Fuller’s Trump endorsement.
