Voters in Northwest Georgia are set for a high-stakes runoff election on April 7, as Republican Clay Fuller and Democrat Shawn Harris compete to fill the seat vacated by Marjorie Taylor Greene in the 14th Congressional District.
Neither candidate secured a majority in the special election, with Harris finishing slightly ahead in overall vote share. The race has drawn national attention, particularly as Fuller carries an endorsement from former President Donald Trump, making the contest a key test of Trump’s influence in a reliably Republican district.
Over the weekend, the two candidates faced off in a debate in Atlanta, where they sharply disagreed on several major issues. Economic policy was a central focus, with Fuller promoting Republican proposals to eliminate taxes on tips and overtime, while Harris questioned the broader impact of those plans.
Voting legislation also sparked debate, particularly the proposed “Save America Act,” which includes voter ID and proof of citizenship requirements. Harris raised concerns about potential voter roll purges, while Fuller defended the measures as necessary for election integrity.
The candidates also discussed the challenges of passing legislation in a closely divided Congress, as well as briefly touching on foreign policy issues, including tensions involving Iran.
The runoff is expected to draw significant attention as it could have implications for the balance of power in the U.S. House.
