Was excited to join @PoliticallyGa twice this week alongside the great @MurphyAJC. Catch us chatting about the U.S. Senate debate/Ossoff-Bottoms alliance on Tuesday's episode. And a recap of the Republican governor's debate today. #gapol https://t.co/oFDftkPv8N
This is upsetting news for Atlanta. Sean is one of the few reporters who consistently stays on City Hall news and the administration. Local news matters and people are going to start realizing that when they have no idea what their city government is doing. #atlpol
SAD THREAD: Maybe you’ve heard the news: @AtlantaCivicCircle is going under. It’s another casualty of the current, unforgiving journalism ecosystem — a loss that will leave Atlanta with, by my math, ZERO dedicated housing reporters. Let’s talk about what that means... (1/)
Thank you to the @atlpressclub for having me as a panelist on the runoff debate in the Republican race for governor. And s/o to my colleagues and friends @jeff_hullinger1 and @rahulbali for sharing the stage with me! #gapol
FINAL DAY: Atlanta Press Club Debates for the 2026 Primary Runoffs
They include Governor, State School Superintedent, Congress, Fulton Commission Chair and more. #gapol
Watch live on the Atlanta Press Club YouTube channel. They will also be posted at https://t.co/5LEb1QFOcw
U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff and Democratic nominee for governor Keisha Lance Bottoms debuted their tag-team campaign yesterday, hoping their early unified ticket will give them an edge over Republicans still battling it out in runoffs. #gapol https://t.co/aO6MmIcATg
Ossoff starts his attacks on his two potential Republican opponents: “We're left with the congressman, who's only a congressman because his daddy was a congressman, and the coach was only a coach because his daddy was a coach.” #gapol
“Donald Trump's rise is a symptom of this deeper disease, and I suspect many of you are here because you recognize that our task is not just to contain his wickedness but to cure the rot that gave rise to it,” Ossoff says. #gapol
As expected, Ossoff launches his speech by taking after Trump: “Y'all remember they probably promised to drain the swamp? Instead, this is the most corrupt administration of all time, and everybody knows it.” #gapol

I’m at the Tabernacle in Atlanta where U.S. Sen Jon Ossoff is hosting his first rally since the primary alongside Democratic nominee for governor Keisha Lance Bottoms. The two are expected to emphasize a united front for the party as Republicans head toward runoffs. #gapol
Great reporting from my colleagues @saragregory, @thadmoore & @klandergan: Is MARTA World Cup ready? New Atlanta trains haven’t passed safety tests. #atlpol https://t.co/bCEb2XgFXR
New: Liberal Democrats are celebrating a slate of primary wins, including a candidate who will likely be the state's first transgender lawmaker and another who nearly ousted out a Republican incumbent in 2024. #gapol https://t.co/OXugaLLxZH
The top of the Democratic ticket is set in Georgia. @ossoff and @keishabottoms plan a campaign as “partners,” which has a path to help both. My column in the @ajc. https://t.co/PTr9trbkJA
The data from the GA election shows big shift for Democrats among key groups.
•72% of Hispanic voters chose a Democratic ballot, compared to 47% in 2022.
* Asian voters grew to 63% from 44%.
* 25% of white voters got Dem ballot, up from 14% in 2022.@ajc https://t.co/AJuHHigqva
“Burt Jones and Rick Jackson have spent their lives enriching themselves and are running for governor to do just that,” Bottoms says of her potential competitors in November. “I’ll be a governor who will always fight for you.” #gapol#atlpol
Keisha Lance Bottoms declares victory in the Democratic primary: “When the people of Georgia show up and believe that their votes are our voice and that our voices will never be silent, I am reminded that the grace of God is sufficient.” #gapol#atlpol
