What we know:
The race will determine who fills the remainder of U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s term after she resigned in January, setting up a closely watched special election.
Democrat Sean Harris and Republican Clay Fuller are facing off in the runoff. Harris was seen casting his ballot early in Rockmart, where polling locations reported a steady stream of voters throughout the morning.
Georgia’s 14th Congressional District has traditionally leaned Republican, but Democrats are hoping shifting political and economic conditions could help them flip the seat. Harris previously ran against Greene in 2024 and lost by a wide margin but finished ahead of Fuller in the initial round of voting, forcing the runoff.
Fuller, who is considered the frontrunner, has received backing from President Donald Trump. Both candidates say the race is critical, pointing to the district’s lack of representation since January and the narrow margins in Congress.
