Overview

  • Fuller defeated Democrat Shawn Harris on Tuesday with roughly 56% to 44%, according to unofficial results from the Georgia Secretary of State.
  • The Republican will be sworn in to serve the rest of Marjorie Taylor Greene’s term, giving GOP leaders a bit more room in a closely divided House.
  • Trump endorsed Fuller and urged supporters to vote, and the race was widely viewed as a test of the president’s pull with MAGA voters in a deep-red district.
  • Harris’ 44% marks a sharp Democratic gain in a seat Trump carried by about 37 points in 2024 and that Greene won by roughly 64% to 36% that year.
  • Both candidates now pivot to the regular cycle, with party primaries set for May 19 and a likely rematch for a full two-year term in November.
