Republican Clay Fuller won the special election for Georgia’s 14th District, defeating Democrat Shawn Harris and taking the seat formerly held by Marjorie Taylor Greene. Fuller’s victory gives Republicans another House seat and comes as the parties look toward November’s midterm elections.
Clay Fuller won the special election for Georgia’s 14th Congressional District, with nearly all votes counted and a projected margin of about 12 points. He defeated Democrat Shawn Harris in a district that had strongly favored Republicans in the previous presidential and congressional elections. Fuller said his victory showed President Donald Trump’s continued strength; Harris called his showing a stepping stone to November.
Fuller will serve the remaining months of Greene’s term, adding to Republicans’ slim House majority. He must win a Republican primary in May to seek a full term, while Harris is already the Democratic nominee for November. The report also describes voter concerns about the war in Iran and Trump’s rhetoric, and notes Trump’s endorsement of Fuller and Greene’s criticism of the president.
