Republican Clay Fuller won the Georgia 14th District special-election runoff, defeating Democrat Shawn Harris and securing the seat formerly held by Marjorie Taylor Greene. The result preserves the narrow Republican House majority, while both candidates can compete again for the full term in May.
Fuller won the runoff against Harris, who conceded Tuesday night and called it a fair, hard-fought race. The contest followed a crowded March election in which neither candidate won a majority. Fuller had received President Donald Trump’s endorsement; after the result, Fuller praised Trump’s role and said he would be a “warrior” for him in Congress.
The article says Fuller’s win is welcome news for Speaker Mike Johnson as Republicans hold a slim House majority. It also notes that the special election to replace New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill could add another Democrat, and that Fuller and Harris qualified to run in the May 19 primary for the full term.

21 OUTLETSOutlets agree Republican Clay Fuller defeated Democrat Shawn Harris in the Georgia 14th District special runoff for Marjorie Taylor Greene’s former House seat. Left-leaning outlets cast Harris as a possible seat-flipper before the vote and treat his showing afterward as evidence of Democratic strength. Center outlets report Fuller’s win while also weighing what Harris’s narrower margin could mean for November and House control. Right-leaning outlets emphasize the Republican win, with some coverage foregrounding Fuller’s Trump endorsement.
