Shawn Harris and Clay Fuller advanced to an April 7 runoff for Georgia’s 14th Congressional District after neither won a majority in the special election. Harris led with nearly 37% of the vote to Fuller’s 35%.
The special election to replace former U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is headed to a runoff because no candidate reached the threshold to win outright. Harris received nearly 37% of the vote and Fuller 35%; third-place finisher Colton Moore received just over 12%, and the article says his endorsement could influence the runoff.
The article reports that Georgia Republicans have generally performed better in runoffs, while noting that recent contests included the election of Democratic senators Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock. Early voting is scheduled for March 30 through April 3, ahead of the April 7 runoff.

24 OUTLETSClay 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.
