A runoff to fill Marjorie Taylor Greene’s former House seat is being watched as an early test of voter views on the Iran war. Democrat Shawn Harris opposes the conflict, while Republican Clayton Fuller supports it.
The runoff in Georgia’s 14th District is between Shawn Harris, who has made his opposition to the Iran war part of his closing campaign message, and Clayton Fuller, who has defended the war and cited President Trump’s endorsement. The article describes the race as a possible indicator of how the war could affect the midterms, while noting Harris faces an uphill climb in the district.
Greene, who resigned from Congress at the start of the year, has criticized Trump over the war but has not endorsed either candidate. The article also reports the first-round vote shares and quotes Georgia Republican Party chair Josh McKoon predicting a Fuller win; Fuller urged Republicans not to take the race for granted.
