In Race to Replace Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Iran War Is a Dividing Line
The New York Times • • nation
Key Points:
- A special House runoff election in a conservative Georgia district, previously held by Marjorie Taylor Greene, is seen as an early test of voter sentiment on the Iran war ahead of the midterms.
- The race features two military veterans with opposing views: Democrat Shawn Harris opposes the war, citing risks to American lives and rising fuel prices, while Republican Clayton Fuller supports it as a measure to keep Americans safe.
- Marjorie Taylor Greene, who resigned from Congress earlier this year, has notably expressed opposition to the war and has not endorsed a candidate in the runoff.
- Shawn Harris led the initial 17-candidate election in March but faces a challenging runoff against Fuller in a heavily Republican district that Trump won by a large margin in 2024.
