CNN Projects Clay Fuller Wins Georgia Runoff, Keeping GOP Hold on Greene’s Former Seat
The result eases pressure on Speaker Mike Johnson in a House with a one‑vote cushion.
Overview
- Fuller, projected Tuesday by CNN to win the Georgia 14th District runoff, will serve out Marjorie Taylor Greene’s term and then compete in May 19 primaries for the full term.
- The deep‑red district narrowed as Democrat Shawn Harris trailed by under 12 points, a roughly 25‑point improvement from his 2024 loss to Greene.
- President Trump endorsed Fuller ahead of the March primary, a boost that helped him emerge from a crowded Republican field and rally GOP voters for the head‑to‑head.
- Harris held a large cash edge, raising about $6.5 million to Fuller’s $1.2 million, yet low‑turnout special runoffs tend to reward targeted enthusiasm over fundraising totals.
- The projected hold preserves Republicans’ fragile House majority, reducing near‑term risk for Johnson as an April 16 New Jersey special is expected to add a Democrat.
