Georgia's 14th Congressional District is a largely rural district in the northwest corner of Georgia, previously held by Marjorie Taylor Greene after her 2020 election. It became the site of a nationally significant special election runoff on 7 April 2026 when Republican Clay Fuller won by 56-44, a 25-point shift toward Democrats compared to 2024.
The district's demographics, strongly rural, exurban, and economically exposed to agricultural tariffs, made the Democratic overperformance particularly striking. Harris won no urban precincts; the movement was entirely rural. Analysts used the result as a baseline for projecting House seat losses nationally in November 2026.
