Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan is unlikely to run for a second term as the state’s No. 2 politician and is instead expected to focus on his “GOP 2.0” initiative to reframe the party in a post-Trump era. #gapol ajc.com/politics/polit…
While most GOP officials are either cozying up to Donald Trump or trying to avoid his wrath, Duncan stood out by setting himself on a collision course with the former president and top members of his own party. #gapol ajc.com/politics/polit…
Here’s Duncan’s former top aide, who had a very public breakup with the LG about a year ago over his decision to quickly endorse Kelly Loeffler for Senate. #gapol
Among the many potential GOP contenders for the seat: Sens. Brandon Beach, Clint Dixon, Steve Gooch Burt Jones, Butch Miller and Larry Walker (might as well be the entire GOP caucus), former Sen. PK Martin and Georgia Chamber chief Chris Clark. #gapol

A sign of @GovKemp’s solidifying standing with the GOP grassroots: He’s greeted by a rousing standing ovation at the Cobb GOP, after the crowd boos MLB for pulling All-Star game. “If there was ever a time for us to reengage, unite and fight the good fight it is right now.” #gapol Image
Down the street, Attorney General @ChrisCarr_Ga stands at a local seafood place to say: “Major League Baseball made a major league mistake.”
“What does this false narrative lead to? It leads to real harm.” #gapol Image
.@GovKemp warns of the “trickle down effect” from MLB’s decision. “I believe we are on the right side of helping the little guy on this — they’ve got hit by COVID-19 and now they’re getting hit by this.” #gapol Image

Fulton County’s district attorney said she won’t prosecute the Democratic lawmaker who was arrested last month after she knocked on the door of Gov. Brian Kemp’s state office as he was touting a sweeping new elections law. #gapol ajc.com/politics/polit…
Says Cannon attorney @AttorneyGriggs: “Facts and evidence showed to the world that Rep. Cannon committed no crime and should not have ever been arrested. We thank the district attorney for her thorough review of the evidence and are weighing our next legal actions.”
@AttorneyGriggs “While some of Rep. Cannon’s colleagues and the police officers involved may have found her behavior annoying, such sentiment does not justify a presentment to a grand jury of the allegations ...” says @FaniWillisForDA. #gapol ajc.com/politics/polit…

.@GovKemp’s press conference message on “cancel culture” — “They will stop at nothing to silence all of us.” #gapol
Kemp girds for a war with corporate America: “Secure, accessible elections are worth the threats. They are worth the boycotts as well as the lawsuits. I want to be clear - I will not be backing down from this fight. And neither are the people who are here with me today.”
Kemp on the possibility of a “snowball effect” of other business boycotts: “We are not wavering ... You can bow down to this cancel culture but I will give you a warning — if you do, it’s never enough. It will never be enough.” #gapol

Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian just called the Georgia elections restrictions signed into law last week was “unacceptable” and “based on a lie” of widespread fraud in last November’s election. #gapol ajc.com/news/business/…
The stance could deepen a rift w/ Georgia Republican leaders. Delta in 2018 ended a discount for the NRA, prompting GOP leaders to block a lucrative tax break for the airline. #gapol ajc.com/news/business/…
Some Republicans are already talking about ways to punish Delta, since there are a number of tax measures still pending on the final day of the session. It's akin to "Delta shooting us in the face with a shotgun without telling us it was coming," says a senior GOPer. #gapol

A state Trooper said memories of the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol were on his mind when he arrested a Democratic legislator after she knocked repeatedly on the door of Gov. Kemp’s office as he was touting the state's new elections law. #gapol ajc.com/politics/polit…
“The events of January 6, 2021 at the U.S. Capitol were in the back of my mind,” the officer wrote in a report. “I didn’t want the protestors to attempt to gain entry into a secure part of the Capitol.” #gapol ajc.com/politics/polit…
“I’ve tried a lot of cases. It’s not often that the witnesses and the cameras saw everything that transpired,” said @AttorneyGriggs. “Those alleged injuries — if there are any — are not consistent with the witnesses, the evidence or the video.” #gapol ajc.com/politics/polit…
