Election Live Updates: Republicans Keep Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Seat, but Democrats Narrow the Gap
Democrats significantly outperformed their 2024 showing in the deep-red House district, adding to a string of strong showings. In Wisconsin, Chris Taylor, a liberal judge, won a seat on the state’s Supreme Court.
Clay Fuller, a Republican former prosecutor, won a runoff Tuesday to take the Georgia congressional seat formerly held by Marjorie Taylor Greene, who resigned in January after breaking with President Trump over the Epstein files and his increasingly interventionist foreign policy.
Mr. Fuller, who was backed by Mr. Trump, had been heavily favored to fill the remainder of Ms. Greene’s term in the deep-red district. But the Democratic candidate, Shawn Harris, put on a strong showing. The district was on track to shift 25 points to the left, the biggest swing toward Democrats in a special election since the start of 2025 and a heartening performance for the party heading toward the midterms in November.
Democrats also had reason to be pleased in Wisconsin, where Chris Taylor, a liberal appeals court judge, captured a State Supreme Court seat and further tilted the court’s ideological balance. Judge Taylor, who previously served in the State Assembly and worked as a director at Planned Parenthood, defeated another appeals court judge, Maria Lazar, a conservative former litigator and assistant state attorney general.

Wisconsin court: Judge Taylor is the third liberal to be elected to the Wisconsin Supreme Court in three years, and her victory widens their majority to 5-to-2. The court is officially nonpartisan, but the ideological leanings of its justices, who serve 10-year terms, have become common knowledge in recent decades. Read more ›
