Republican Clay Fuller and Democrat Shawn Harris advanced to an April 7 runoff in the special election to replace Marjorie Taylor Greene in Georgia’s 14th District. The winner will serve the remainder of Greene’s term, and the result could affect the narrow House majority.
Neither Fuller nor Harris secured a majority in the crowded special election, sending the two candidates to an April 7 runoff. Fuller said he expected Republicans to unite behind him, while Harris said his campaign would build on its showing and looked forward to facing Fuller. The winner will serve the remainder of Greene’s term.
The article describes the district as one Trump carried with 68 percent of the vote in 2024 and says his February endorsement of Fuller did not influence every voter. Voters quoted in the story expressed differing views about Trump and said they wanted either a change in tone from Greene or stronger checks and balances. The next full-term election process includes a May 19 primary and a November general election.
