June 21st 2024.
Shawn Harris, a retired Brigadier General with 40 years of service defending our nation and democracy, has emerged victorious in Georgia's 14th congressional district Democratic runoff. He will now face off against outspoken GOP Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene in the upcoming election.
Harris's win was hard-earned, with him securing a commanding 71.5% of the votes while his opponent, Clarence Blalock, received only 34%. This was a significant turnaround from their previous encounter during the state's primary election in May 2024, where Blalock had narrowly defeated Harris by a margin of 124 votes. However, with neither candidate receiving over 50% of the votes, a runoff election was necessary, and Harris emerged as the clear winner.
In his victory speech, Harris wasted no time in calling out his opponent, stating that he is determined to end the toxic career of Marjorie Taylor Greene. With a sense of duty and responsibility towards his community, Harris pledged to fight like never before to bring positive change to the district.
Greene, a vocal supporter of former President Donald Trump, has been re-elected in 2022 after defeating another Black Democrat, Marcus Flowers. However, her overall unfavorable rating has been steadily increasing, with a majority of voters expressing their disapproval of her performance on Capitol Hill.
Using social media as a platform to rally support, Harris posted a video on Twitter expressing his gratitude to the voters for electing him as the Democratic nominee to face MTG. He also took a moment to thank his opponent, Blalock, acknowledging the importance of coming together as a united front.
The response to Harris's victory has been overwhelmingly positive, with many social media users expressing their support for his campaign. One user even encouraged their followers to follow Harris and support him in any way possible to give Marjorie Taylor Greene a real run for her money in November.
Others have also joined in, questioning the district's choice to have MTG represent them and urging them to choose someone who truly cares about their community and its values. With the fight against Marjorie Taylor Greene now just beginning, Harris is more determined than ever to bring about the change that the district deserves.
