Republican Clay Fuller defeated Democrat Shawn Harris in the Georgia special election for Marjorie Taylor Greene’s former House seat, helping strengthen Republicans’ narrow House majority. Fuller will need to run again later this year to win a full two-year term.
Clay Fuller won the Georgia special election on Tuesday, defeating Shawn Harris after Harris led the first round of voting in March. The article says President Donald Trump’s endorsement helped Fuller, and that the district’s strong Republican tilt favored him. Fuller will serve the remaining months of Marjorie Taylor Greene’s term, then face another election to secure a full term.
Fuller described himself as an “America First fighter,” while Harris argued that Fuller was too aligned with Trump to represent the district independently. Republicans and Democrats seeking the full term are scheduled to compete in party primaries in May, with possible runoffs in June, before the November general election.
