- Runoff election set for Tuesday in Georgia's 14th district
- Republican Clay Fuller faces Democrat Shawn Harris
- Race could impact House balance, with Republicans holding a slim 218–214 majority
- Greene resigned after public rift with President Trump
Harris performed slightly better than Fuller in a special election on March 10, but neither secured a majority of the vote in a crowded field of candidates. Harris' ability to attract more votes was attributed to the number of GOP candidates in the race and is not viewed as an indication that Democrats could pull off a major upset in the conservative district.
Greene won her seat in 2020 by nearly 50 points against her Democratic opponent. Fuller, a district attorney and Air National Guard veteran, has supported Trump's decision to go to war with Iran. Harris, a farmer and retired Army general, called it a 'war of choice' during a debate last month.
Greene accused Trump of betraying his 'America First' promises by leading the U.S. into another foreign conflict. She announced her departure after Trump labeled her a 'traitor' for breaking with Republican leaders to demand the release of files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
