KEY POINTS

  • •Trump-endorsed Clay Fuller and Democrat Shawn Harris are heading to an April 7 runoff in Georgia.
  • •Harris raised over $4 million to try and win a seat previously held by Marjorie Taylor Greene.
  • •Republicans face complications after Kevin Kiley left the party, shrinking their majority and frustrating Speaker Johnson.

In a Georgia political drama that reads like reality TV scripts pitched by bored interns, Trump-backed Clay Fuller and Democrat Shawn Harris are duking it out on April 7 to replace Marjorie Taylor Greene, who pulled a 2025 ‘see ya’ after falling out with Trump. Harris, who was soundly beaten by Greene in 2024, managed to hustle over $4 million this time—enough to make it feel like a viral fundraiser for cat memes rather than just politics. Meanwhile, Republicans fret because their razor-thin majority just got thinner thanks to Kevin Kiley’s switch to 'independentish'—basically political ghosting. Speaker Mike Johnson is now stuck managing party drama that’s thicker than a Thanksgiving gravy.
