Georgia Democrats Vie for Surprise Upset in Conservative Stronghold
A closely watched runoff election in Georgia's 14th Congressional District aims to flip a Republican-held seat, as Democrats seek to capitalize on GOP divisions.
Georgia Democrats are making a push to flip a historically Republican-controlled congressional district in a closely watched special election, hoping to capitalize on internal divisions within the GOP. Shawn Harris, a Democrat, advanced to Tuesday's runoff after securing the most votes in a crowded field that included 12 Republican candidates.
The race in Georgia's 14th Congressional District, which was previously represented by Marjorie Taylor Greene, has attracted national attention as Democrats seek to demonstrate their ability to compete in conservative strongholds. Greene, a controversial figure known for her far-right views and conspiracy theories, resigned from the seat earlier this year after being stripped of her committee assignments in the House.
