Clay Fuller and Shawn Harris Advance to Runoff for Georgia House Seat

Clay Fuller and Shawn Harris advanced to an April 7 runoff for Georgia’s 14th District seat, formerly held by Marjorie Taylor Greene, after no candidate won a majority. Left-leaning outlets connect Harris’s first-place finish to national anger over Trump’s policies and note that his endorsement did not secure Fuller an outright win. Center outlets report the matchup while weighing Trump’s influence and the possible House-majority stakes. Right-leaning outlets emphasize Trump’s support for Fuller, Republican unity behind him, and the seat’s possible effect on the GOP’s narrow House majority.
