CBS News • • general
Key Points:
- Georgia's 14th Congressional District voters will choose between Republican Clay Fuller and Democrat Shawn Harris to replace former GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who resigned after a fallout with President Trump.
- The election outcome could impact the House balance, where Republicans hold a narrow majority with 218 seats to Democrats' 214.
- Harris slightly outperformed Fuller in the March 10 special election but did not secure a majority, leading to a runoff; Fuller's Trump endorsement is seen as a key factor in the conservative district.
- The race is viewed as a test of voter sentiment on Trump's handling of the Iran conflict and economic issues, with Fuller supporting Trump's policies and Harris criticizing the war and emphasizing economic recovery.
- Greene, who has not endorsed a candidate, has publicly condemned Trump’s approach to Iran and left Congress amid a public rift with him, highlighting tensions within the GOP.
