Trump-backed Fuller heads to runoff to fill MTG’s Georgia seat

Trump-endorsed Clayton Fuller surged to a runoff against Democrat Shawn Harris in Georgia's 14th Congressional District to fill the remainder of Marjorie Taylor Greene’s term. Fuller, a prosecutor and Air National Guard member, benefited from Trump's endorsement after a crowded GOP field, while Harris—a retired brigadier general who previously challenged Greene—led early vote totals but faces a tough path in a strongly conservative district. The April 7 runoff prolongs the vacancy in Washington and comes as candidates including Colton Moore prepare for a May primary for a full-term seat.

Voters in Georgia’s 14th Congressional District will choose a replacement for Marjorie Taylor Greene from a crowded field; if no candidate wins a majority on Tuesday, the top two finishers advance to an April 7 runoff. The race features Trump-endorsed Republican Clay Fuller and Democrat Shawn Harris, who has led fundraising, along with other GOP and Democratic contenders.

The outcome could affect the GOP’s slim House majority and sits among several concurrent state and local special elections.

In Georgia’s 14th Congressional District, Trump’s endorsement of Clay Fuller amid a crowded field is a central test of the former president’s sway over the GOP while rivals push loyalty to his agenda; the special election to replace Marjorie Taylor Greene could go to an April runoff if no candidate clears 50%, with a Democrat (Shawn Harris) hoping to capitalize on the chaos. The race also features contenders like Colton Moore and Tom Gray, highlighting tensions within Trump’s coalition and the broader question of how his influence will shape a razor-thin Republican majority.

Georgia’s 14th District votes to replace Greene in high-stakes special election

Voters in Georgia’s 14th District head to a special election to replace Marjorie Taylor Greene, with 17 Republicans (plus several unofficial withdrawals) and three Democrats on the ballot; if no candidate wins a majority, the top two advance to an April 7 runoff. Republicans largely back Trump, though Colton Moore has criticized him over the Epstein files and Clay Fuller carries Trump’s endorsement. Democrats Shawn Harris, Jonathan Hobbs, and Jim Davis are running, with Harris receiving a late endorsement from Pete Buttigieg, as money pours into ads in a district that heavily backed Trump in 2024.
