The Bottom Line

Candidates debated Iran war and economic policy in Georgia's 14th Congressional District runoff to replace Marjorie Taylor Greene.

AI Summary

Democrat Shawn Harris and Republican Clay Fuller, Trump's endorsed candidate, debated Sunday in Georgia's 14th Congressional District runoff to replace former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, clashing over Iran policy and economic issues. The April 7 runoff will determine who represents the heavily Republican seat in the 2026 election cycle. Fuller's backing from the sitting president gives him a significant advantage in a district where Republicans hold a commanding registration edge. Harris is attempting to flip the seat by appealing to voters dissatisfied with current economic conditions and foreign policy decisions.
