Harris, Fuller headed to runoff in race to replace Greene

(Atlanta Journal-Constitution) ROME — Democrat Shawn Harris and Republican Clayton Fuller were headed toward a runoff Tuesday night in the special election to succeed U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, setting up the matchup that the White House and many state GOP leaders had hoped would emerge from a chaotic Republican field.

Early returns showed Harris leading the all-party special election for Georgia’s 14th Congressional District, while Fuller — a former prosecutor backed by President Donald Trump — appeared poised to secure the second April 7 runoff spot.

The matchup avoids what some Republican officials saw as a nightmare scenario: a runoff featuring former state Sen. Colton Moore, a polarizing figure whose confrontational style has repeatedly put him at odds with leaders in his own party.

Trump’s backing of Fuller also reflects his effort to reassert influence in Georgia after a disappointing 2022 midterm cycle, when all four of the challengers he supported against GOP incumbents were trounced.
