Star Black is in the news because of Georgia’s 14th Congressional District special election, where Clay Fuller emerged as the Republican winner and the seat briefly affected the balance of power in the U.S. House. The race drew attention as a test of Trump’s influence, with candidates also taking positions on Iran strikes and other national issues. More recently, Georgia politics has shifted toward the 2028 redistricting fight, which could affect Black lawmakers’ prospects and reshape the state’s districts for years.
