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.
