共和党人克莱·富勒预计将赢得佐治亚州国会补选,接替玛乔丽·泰勒·格林,巩固共和党微弱多数优势

华盛顿——哥伦比亚广播公司新闻预计,共和党人克莱·富勒赢得了周二的决选,将接替前众议员玛乔丽·泰勒·格林,代表佐治亚州第14国会选区,这将为众议院共和党人本就微弱的多数优势再添一票。

富勒在佐治亚州西北部该选区击败民主党人肖恩·哈里斯,两人均在3月10日的特别选举中从众多候选人中脱颖而出晋级决选。

此前需获得多数选票才能避免决选。上月的特别选举中,退休陆军将军哈里斯的得票数超过地区检察官富勒,当时共和党选票分散在多名候选人之间。尽管这让民主党人看到了爆出重大冷门的希望,但在这个一向保守的选区进行一对一对决时,哈里斯仍面临极大劣势。

此次选举结果让众议院共和党人再添一席。此前共和党人的席位优势为217比214,近几个月来哪怕一名议员倒戈都可能威胁到他们的立法议程推进。另有一名独立议员在3月更换了党派归属,但仍与共和党人共同议事。富勒的胜利将共和党人的席位优势扩大到两票。

获得特朗普总统背书的富勒将完成格林剩余的两年任期,该任期将于2027年1月结束。

格林因与特朗普决裂,已于今年1月辞职。

Republican Clay Fuller projected to win Georgia runoff to replace Marjorie Taylor Greene in House, helping GOP’s narrow majority

April 7, 2026 8:49 PM EDT / CBS News

Washington — Republican Clay Fuller won Tuesday’s runoff election to replace former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene in Georgia’s 14th Congressional District, CBS News projects, padding the House GOP’s razor-thin margin by an additional vote.

Fuller beat Democrat Shawn Harris in the northwest Georgia district after the two advanced from a crowded field of candidates in a special election on March 10.

A candidate had to receive a majority of the vote to avoid a runoff. Harris, a retired Army general, pulled in more votes than Fuller, a district attorney, in last month’s contest as Republicans split their votes among several candidates. Though it injected a jolt of optimism into the possibility that Democrats could pull off a major upset, Harris faced long odds in a one-on-one matchup in the reliably conservative district.

The outcome gives House Republicans — who had a 217 to 214 majority leading up to Fuller’s victory — another seat as any one defection has threatened to derail their legislative agenda in recent months. Another seat is held by an independent, who switched his party affiliation in March, but still caucuses with Republicans. Fuller’s win bumps up Republicans’ margin to two votes.

Fuller, who had President Trump’s backing, will serve out the remainder of Greene’s two-year term, which ends in January 2027.

Greene resigned in January after a falling-out with Mr. Trump.
