Republican Clay Fuller won the special runoff for Georgia’s 14th Congressional District, replacing Marjorie Taylor Greene and expanding the GOP’s narrow House majority. The report also contrasts Fuller’s and Democrat Shawn Harris’s views on the war in Iran.
Clay Fuller won Tuesday’s special runoff against Democrat Shawn Harris in Georgia’s 14th District, according to the Associated Press. Fuller will serve the remainder of Marjorie Taylor Greene’s term, and the victory gives Republicans a 218–214 House majority.
The article says Fuller campaigned as a “MAGA warrior” and supported President Donald Trump’s actions toward Iran. Harris called the war a “war of choice” and linked its effects to rising costs for oil, fuel and fertilizer. Fuller would need to win a May Republican primary to remain in Congress beyond January 2027.
