Trump-backed candidate aims to pad GOP's fragile House majority battle in showdown for MTG's seat

By Fox News · Fox News

ROME, GA — Republican congressional candidate Clay Fuller says that Tuesday's special election runoff in Georgia is "extremely crucial." Fuller is facing off against Democrat Shawn Harris in the race to fill the seat in Georgia's solidly red 14th Congressional District — in the northwest part of the state — left vacant when MAGA firebrand Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene stepped down at the beginning of January. Greene quit Congress with a year left in her term, after a bitter falling out with President Donald Trump . The special election, held on the same day as a state Supreme Court contest in battleground Wisconsin, comes as Republicans cling to a razor-thin 218–214 majority in the House. The GOP cannot afford any surprises and allow the Democrats to pull an upset in the special election, in a district Trump carried by a whopping 37 points in his 2024 presidential victory. "We need the reinforcements," Fuller, a local district attorney and a lieutenant colonel in the Air National Guard who's served in the Air Force since 2009, emphasized in a Fox News Digital interview on the eve of the runoff election , as he pointed to the GOP's fragile majority. "I think the voters in Georgia 14 understand that, and they're looking forward to sending a MAGA America first fighter up on Capitol Hill to support that agenda." PRIMARY PAUSE, POLITICAL FIRESTORM: HIGH-STAKES ELECTIONS THIS MONTH TAKE CENTER STAGE Asked if he was concerned that MAGA supporters would sit out what may be a low turnout election since the president is not on the ballot, Fuller said voters "would crawl through glass to make sure they have a representative up there that fight for them and fight for President Trump, and that's why we're going to have the votes pouring out on April 7."
