Clay Fuller Defeats Shawn Harris in Georgia Congressional Runoff

Outlets 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.
