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
Down the street, Attorney General @ChrisCarr_Ga stands at a local seafood place to say: “Major League Baseball made a major league mistake.”

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

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
