Shawn Harris Forced a Runoff. But Don't Waste Another Dime on This Race. Here's why.

MeidasTouch calls it a "major warning sign for MAGA." We call it another expensive illusion in GA-14, a district Trump won by 37 points.

The current date is March 11, 2026, and the Democratic donor dopamine hit is in full swing. Shawn Harris, a retired Army brigadier general, Afghanistan vet, cattle farmer, and all-around decent guy, topped the jungle primary in Georgia's 14th Congressional District special election with about 37.3% (43,241 votes), edging out Trump-endorsed Republican Clay Fuller at 34.9% (40,388 votes). No 50% majority, so we're barreling toward an April 7 runoff in the seat Marjorie Taylor Greene ditched after her Trump fallout. MeidasTouch types are hyperventilating about a "major warning sign for MAGA" in a district Trump crushed by +37 points in 2024.
