The Jolt: Some victory celebrations are “all is water under the bridge” affairs. Then there are the scorched-earth parties. Marjorie Taylor Greene, she of the QAnon conspiracies, used napalm last night and into the morning. #gapol #ga14 ajc.com/politics/polit…
More jolt: “If she wins the general, Republicans should not seat her in Congress," says @amandacarpenter. We also wonder what committee assignments will go to a rookie Republican who calls Speaker Nancy Pelosi a “bitch” during her victory speech. #gapol ajc.com/politics/polit…
@amandacarpenter More Jolt: Georgia held one round of the Democratic presidential primary debates. Why not a general election showdown? House Speaker David Ralston wants a September debate in GA. #gapol ajc.com/politics/polit…

Georgia House Democrats walk out of the chamber en masse in protest of a Republican-backed bill to block taxpayer funds from being used to pay for gender-affirming care for state prison inmates. #gapol
“Take a walk!” House Democrats chant after bolting from the chamber in defiance of the GOP bill. When I asked House Minority Leader Carolyn Hugley whether she worried this could push Republicans further to the right, she said: “There’s not much left” to go. #gapol
Plays into this: Georgia Democrats are channeling their fury and frustration inward as liberal voters and grassroots organizers demand a more aggressive, confrontational response to President Donald Trump’s return to power. #gapol

Fulton County is now starting to report its totals. Georgia’s most populous county, Biden won 73% of Fulton’s vote in 2020. Harris is on a similar track with half the county’s precincts reporting. #gapol Image
Keep an eye on Forsyth County, an exurban GOP stronghold. In 2020, Trump captured Forsyth with nearly two-thirds of the vote. Democrats are working to shave his margins there - winning by losing less - particularly targeting independent women there. #gapol Image
Clayton County might be the spot that has most spooked Democrats, because of lagging early voting turnout. So far, Clayton is about on pace where it was in 2020. #gapol Image

I’m here at the Kamala Harris rally in DeKalb County. I wandered the crowd of thousands asked voters the same question: What’s going to decide this election in Georgia? I got some intriguing answers. Here’s a thread. #gapol
Ashleigh Ewald is an activist working to drive up young voter turnout. “Republicans are underestimating the power of Gen Z voters. We couldn’t vote in 2016. Now we can – and we are energized.” Image
Jourdan Russell is an Oglethorpe University student who has been urging her friends, neighbors and classmates to vote – not just for president but for down-ticket races.
“Government is local on its most basic level, and these races matter.” #gapol Image
