Clay Fuller and Shawn Harris will compete in a runoff for Georgia’s 14th District seat, after Harris narrowly led Fuller and President Trump’s endorsement did not produce an outright win. The winner of the April 7 runoff will serve the remainder of Marjorie Taylor Greene’s term.
Republican Clay Fuller and Democrat Shawn Harris advanced to a runoff for the seat formerly held by Marjorie Taylor Greene. Harris narrowly led Fuller on election night, while Fuller called the results an “absolute win” and said he expected Republicans to unite behind him. Harris said the results showed a Democrat could compete in the heavily Republican district. The runoff is scheduled for April 7, and its winner will serve the remainder of Greene’s term, which ends in January.
Fuller surged ahead in the Republican field after receiving Trump’s endorsement, but the crowded field prevented him from winning outright. Trump praised Fuller after the results, while the article notes that Fuller would be favored in the runoff and that the vacancy leaves Republicans managing a narrow House majority. Harris’s campaign focused on affordability; the article also reports that he raised more than $4 million since announcing his run in mid-2025.
