Voters in Georgia have moved on from Marjorie Taylor Greene. On Tuesday, they finally fill her seat
CNN • • nation
Key Points:
- Voters in northwest Georgia are set to decide in a runoff election between Republican Clay Fuller and Democrat Shawn Harris to fill Marjorie Taylor Greene’s vacant congressional seat, following her abrupt resignation amid a feud with former President Trump.
- The district is a conservative stronghold, with Republicans aiming to maintain their narrow House majority, while Democrats hope Harris’ performance signals enthusiasm for upcoming statewide races, despite the uphill battle.
- The candidates, both veterans, have sharply different views on the ongoing Iran conflict, with Harris criticizing it as “a war of choice” and Fuller supporting Trump’s military actions.
- Greene has endorsed Fuller, emphasizing the district’s strong Republican leanings, while Harris seeks to attract independents and disillusioned Republicans to compete in the heavily red district.
- The runoff serves as an early test of Trump’s influence in Georgia, a key battleground state, and could indicate voter sentiment toward his policies and the broader midterm election landscape.
