Rome, Georgia —
A Democrat’s bid to pull off a major upset Tuesday in former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s ruby-red Georgia district will be closely watched by national Republicans trying to maintain a razor-thin House majority.
The race to replace Greene, the former ally of President Donald Trump turned critic who resigned from Congress in January, advanced to a runoff when neither Democrat Shawn Harris nor Republican Clay Fuller was able to win a majority in a crowded all-party election on March 10.
Harris, a retired Army brigadier general, has garnered national attention, with Pete Buttigieg going to Georgia to speak to his supporters last month. Georgia Sen. Raphael Warnock also joined Harris at a campaign event last week.
Harris has significantly outraised Fuller, pulling in nearly $6.5 million to Fuller’s $1.2 million.
