AI Summary
Republican Clay Fuller, endorsed by President Donald Trump, and Democrat Shawn Harris will compete in an April 7th runoff election for Georgia's 14th Congressional District, according to the Associated Press. This special election will determine who replaces Marjorie Taylor Greene, who resigned in November 2025 following a reported disagreement with President Trump. Harris, who previously ran against Greene, has raised over $4 million for his campaign. A Democratic victory in this historically Republican district would significantly impact the House Republican majority, which is already narrow following Rep. Kevin Kiley's recent departure from the GOP to become an independent. The outcome is critical for Speaker Mike Johnson as Republicans seek to maintain their slim control.
