Republican to replace Marjorie Taylor Greene, but Democrats hail gains in vote
"Republican Clay Fuller supports the war in Iran. Democrat Shawn Harris opposes it. Voters in Marjorie Taylor Greene’s former district in north-west Georgia decided that this distinction was not enough to propel a Democrat into a conservative-leaning House seat on Tuesday night.
But Fuller won with 56% of the vote, against Harris’s 44%, according to the Associated Press, a result that comes after Greene secured the district by 28 points in 2024 and 32 points two years earlier. Democrats claim the swing to the left in the north-western corner of Georgia is a notable shift that’s worth celebrating.
“I think it’s a win in my mind,” said Adrienne White Carden, a longtime Democratic political activist now running in a special election for the Georgia state senate in Gwinnett county. “It’s not an actual win in terms of having a new, well-qualified representative in Georgia’s 14th district … but it used to be unfathomable there for a Democrat to win … It’s incredible gains.”"
