Watching politics and power in Georgia.

Remember when Donald Trump repeatedly blasted Gov. Brian Kemp for his decision to reopen parts of Georgia’s economy during the first weeks of the global coronavirus pandemic? He's now saying the state did a "very good job ..." #gapol https://t.co/jpyZnXPTfZ

The governor's attack on federal green energy incentives was the clearest example of the tricky path Kemp has taken in approaching the Biden-approved initiatives that have helped make Georgia a booming hub for clean energy. #gapol https://t.co/voEZwLjhIc

[Greg Bluestein @bluestein]

Gov. Kemp has picked an unusual spot to deliver his sharpest remarks yet against President Biden’s green energy initiatives: An electric battery supplier that directly benefits from a surge of federal spending championed by the White House. #gapol https://t.co/voEZwLjhIc

The DNC just rolled out a media blitz in Georgia ahead of the one-year anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade and eliminated the constitutional right to abortion. #gapol https://t.co/Hph91klPNz

A sad day for Georgians: Bill Nigut says GPB’s Political Rewind (@PoliticsGPB) has been canceled as of June 30, apparently due to budget cuts. For the last nine years, the show has been a home for voters who demand a civil, respectable place to discuss politics & policy. #gapol

Former state Sen. Josh McKoon won a three-way race to lead the state GOP with a promise to unify Republicans after the divisive tenure of his predecessor David Shafer, who presided over a wave of GOP losses during his stint as party chair. #gapol https://t.co/FUmcnSDgWM

[Greg Bluestein @bluestein]

A defiant Trump attacks the ‘scam’ federal indictment in his return to Georgia, drawing loud applause from the state GOP convention as he predicted the charges will only energize his comeback bid. #gapol https://t.co/fnba0EZEo6
