Democrat and Republican head to Georgia runoff election for Marjorie Taylor Greene's seat US politics live

"The way I'm going to go to Congress is that it's going to be a coalition of Democrats, independents and Republicans. Fuller and Harris will face each other again on 7 April, and the winner will complete the rest of Greene's term through the end of this year with hopes of re-election."

"I think the Republican party is going to unite around us because they know that the Democrat is too dangerous. We can't have a Democrat representing Georgia 14. That would be a tragedy for our community, a tragedy for Georgia 14 and a tragedy for the Maga movement."

"Harris contrasted himself with Greene's bomb-throwing style, saying practical-minded Republicans should vote for him because he will work for constituents not for somebody else who's already in DC."

A special election in Georgia's 14th congressional district resulted in a runoff between Democrat Shawn Harris, a retired army general, and Republican Clay Fuller, a former prosecutor with Trump's endorsement. Harris raised over four times more campaign funds than Fuller heading into the election. The Republican field was fractured among more than a dozen candidates, while Harris positioned himself as a practical alternative to outgoing representative Marjorie Taylor Greene's confrontational style. Harris emphasized building a coalition of Democrats, independents, and Republicans, while Fuller argued Republicans must unite to prevent a Democrat from representing the district. The runoff is scheduled for April 7, with the winner completing Greene's term through year-end.
