Agriculture Secretary Gary Black has entered the race against U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock, becoming the most prominent Republican to join the wide-open field competing to retake a seat long in GOP hands. #gapol #gasen ajc.com/politics/polit…
“I’ve got the leadership experience, the track record, and the background handling a wide range of duties to be a United States senator. The people of Georgia have been kind enough to hire me before, and I believe they’ll hire me again...” #gapol #gasen ajc.com/politics/polit…
Among the potential Republican candidates to succeed Black as Ag commish: State Sen. Tyler Harper and Will Bentley, head of Georgia Agribusiness Council. #gapol ajc.com/politics/polit…

Congressman @JodyHice, who once rescinded his endorsement of Marjorie Taylor Greene, opens for her at her rally in Dalton tonight. Chants of “LOCK HIM UP” erupt as Hice rails against Secretary of State Raffensperger, a fellow Republican he’s challenging next year. #gapol
Flashback ajc.com/blog/politics/…
Matt Gaetz walks in to the tune of “Thank You For Being A Friend.” To a roar of applause, he tells the crowd of several hundred: “This is Donald Trump’s party.” When he invokes Paul Ryan’s anti-Trump speech tonight, a cascade of boos follows. #gapol

‘The time for mandates is over.' @GovKemp to restrict Georgia’s public schools from requiring masks #gapol ajc.com/politics/polit…
@GovKemp “This is nothing more than a political stunt at a time when Georgians deserve real leadership to help us emerge from the pandemic,” said @jasonesteves, chair of the @apsupdate school board. #gapol ajc.com/politics/polit…
@GovKemp @jasonesteves @apsupdate The governor’s order is just one of several that directly involve public school policies, which Georgia Republicans generally believe should be governed by local control. #gapol ajc.com/politics/polit…

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.”
“What does this false narrative lead to? It leads to real harm.” #gapol
.@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

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…
