Trump-endorsed Republican Clay Fuller and Democrat Shawn Harris will advance to the April 7th runoff to decide who will replace former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene in Georgia, per AP.

Why it matters: Harris, who lost to Greene in 2024, raised more than $4 million during his campaign. A win for Democrats in the reliably red district would be significant.

The race also is being closely watched because Republicans are operating with a razor-thin majority.
That's more problematic than ever for Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) after Rep. Kevin Kiley (Calif.) announced this week that he's leaving the GOP to become an independent.

Flashback: Despite previously being one of Trump's staunchest allies, Greene resigned from Congress in November 2025 following a fallout with the president.
