Gosh, is Georgia's 14th Congressional District really going to go on our list of possible House flips? Yesterday's special election to replace Marjorie Taylor "I've-Got-My-Pension-So-I-Can-Leave-Now" Greene landed the Democratic candidate, Shawn Harris, in first place. Harris got 37.3 percent to Trump-backed Clayton Fuller's 34.9 percent, with the other Republicans in the race distantly trailing.
So okay, GA-14 was a jungle primary, which meant the GOP vote was split every which way from breakfast. But nevertheless, the Democrat in Taylor Greene's district came in first. Republicans should be spooked even if Fuller ends up winning the runoff on April 7.
Fuller should have come in first since he had Trump's backing. In fact, once Trump endorsed him the other GOP candidates should have immediately dropped out of the race. Isn't that how it's supposed to work in MAGA World? How dare the other Republicans not follow the Donald Decree? Hmmm.
Maybe Trump's influence is fading? After all, if you'd told us a year ago that Greene would be out of Congress and the special election to replace her would give the Democrat the lead, we'd have said you were crazy. But it's 2026, and anything is possible. We cats PURR.
