Georgia runoff to decide Marjorie Taylor Greene replacement

Voters in Georgia's 14th Congressional District will choose between Republican Clay Fuller and Democrat Shawn Harris.

The result will have an effect on the balance of power in the House, where Republicans (and one independent who caucuses with the party) hold 218 seats and Democrats have 214.

Harris performed slightly better than Fuller in a special election on March 10, but neither secured a majority of the vote in a crowded field of candidates, forcing a runoff election.

Harris' ability to attract more votes than Fuller, who had Mr. Trump's endorsement, was attributed to the number of GOP candidates in the race and is not viewed as an indication that Democrats could pull off a major upset in the conservative district that Greene has consistently won by wide margins.

Greene was first elected to Congress in 2020, winning by nearly 50 points against her Democratic opponent. She won her two subsequent reelection campaigns by about 30 points.
