Voters in Georgia’s 14th Congressional District will decide Tuesday whether Republican prosecutor and Air National Guard veteran Clay Fuller or Democratic farmer and retired Army general Shawn Harris will replace former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who resigned three months ago after a public break with President Trump. The race will slightly affect control of the narrowly divided House, where Republicans and one independent who caucuses with them hold 218 seats and Democrats hold 214. Harris edged Fuller in the March 10 special election but fell short of a majority in a crowded field, and analysts still see the deep‑red district as strongly favoring the GOP despite Greene’s prior landslide margins shrinking in national polling. The runoff is being watched as an early test of voter sentiment on Trump’s decision to go to war with Iran and the resulting economic pain: Fuller has backed the war as necessary against an Iranian “death cult,” while Harris calls it a “war of choice” and argues Trump should focus on rebuilding the economy. Greene has stayed out of the race but is attacking Trump from the right, accusing him online of betraying his “America First” promises and calling his recent threat to bomb Iran’s power plants and bridges “insane” and “evil,” underscoring fractures inside the MAGA movement that could reverberate beyond this one district.
