Trump-backed Fuller clinches Georgia's 14th District runoff

Republican Clayton Fuller, a former district attorney and ally of Donald Trump, won Georgia’s 14th District special election runoff against Democrat Shawn Harris, capturing the seat vacated by Marjorie Taylor Greene. Fuller led 54% to 46% when the AP projected the result, marking a GOP win in a deeply conservative district but with a narrower margin than usual. He will serve the remainder of Greene’s term and pursue a full term in May primaries, aided by outside groups and Trump’s endorsement. The outcome hints at tightening dynamics for Republicans as Democrats look to upcoming special elections in New Jersey and California and as the midterms approach.
