Potential U.S. Senate candidate Herschel Walker and his wife live in Texas, but she voted in Georgia’s election for president last fall. Herschel, meanwhile, has called for prosecutions of voter fraud ... #gapol #gasen ajc.com/politics/walke…
“Play by the rules.....the American people demand ONLY LEGAL BALLOTS be counted. Anyone manipulating this election should be prosecuted,” Herschel Walker wrote on Twitter in November … #gapol #gasen ajc.com/politics/walke…
Obviously, the questionable vote could undercut one of Walker’s main talking points if he enters the race against Democratic U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock, who is up for a full term in November 2022. #gapol #gasen ajc.com/politics/walke…
Julie Blanchard says she considers herself a resident of Georgia, where she has a driver’s license, owns a car and does business. She didn’t answer a question about whether she spends more time at her Georgia or Texas property. #gapol #gasen ajc.com/politics/walke…
Republican Senate candidate @GaryBlackForGA on the possibility that Walker’s wife voted illegally: “I’d say the lights are shining bright on the political playing field now. It makes it very difficult to talk about voter fraud. I’m concerned about that.” #gapol #gasen Image

A large increase in the populations of Americans who identify as Hispanic, Asian and more than one race is driving the country’s growth.
Seven metro Atlanta counties — and about 30 overall across Georgia — are now predominantly Black, underscoring the region’s political shift. #gapol ImageImage
Here’s the Census breakdown that shows Georgia is on the verge of becoming a majority-minority state (and might already be there given more recent population fluctuations). The data shows Georgia is 50.1% white, 30.6% Black and 10.5% Hispanic or Latino. #gapol Image

At one of the biggest Republican events in the state, Dr. John Cowan (@JC4Constitution) is encouraging folks to get vaccinated at a nearby tent. Cowan, a conservative Republican from here in Rome, ran for Congress last year and lost to Marjorie Taylor Greene. #gapol
One of the first things folks see as they enter the pavilion: “Trump Won” shirts and placards that are familiar sights at every Georgia GOP event these days. #gapol
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene kicks the event off by putting fellow Republicans on notice: “Republican voters and donors are sick and tired of Republicans that are selling them out. And it’s our job to do the job that you hired us to do.”
It’s gonna be a wild 2022 primary. #gapol

There’s Transportation Secretary @PeteButtigieg touring the Solar Roadway in Peachtree Corners as part of a visit to metro Atlanta promoting the bipartisan infrastructure package — the third trip to the area by a Cabinet secretary this week. #gapol Image
Interesting: Russell McMurry, @GovKemp’s transportation commissioner, endorses the bipartisan infrastructure measure as an “exciting” proposal to bring transformative tech solutions to modern transportation problems. #gapol Image
.@PeteButtigieg: “This is our chance to demonstrate that the old false choice of climate versus jobs will be broken in the 2020s.” #gapol Image

The Jolt: Rudy Giuliani’s back in Georgia to try and knock out Brian Kemp #gapol ajc.com/politics/polit…
More jolt: Democratic state Sen. @elenaparent is considering a run for lieutenant governor. Two other state legislators - both from the House - are already in the race. #gapol ajc.com/politics/polit…
More jolt: The curious case of the little known down-ticket candidate who reported raising $318k in contributions — and said virtually all of it was raised by small dollar contributions he doesn’t have to itemize. #gapol ajc.com/politics/polit…

Rep. Greene: “I have made a mistake and it’s really bothered me for a couple of weeks now. And so I definitely want to own it ... The Holocaust is — there’s nothing comparable to it. It happened and, you know, over 6 million Jewish people were murdered.”
Backstory: Greene’s Holocaust comparisons draw rebuke from GOP leaders #gapol ajc.com/politics/green…
Contrast her remarks today with what she said at a town hall in Dalton on May 28 when she expressed no contrition and continued the comparison.
“You know, Nazis were the National Socialist Party,” she said. “Just like the Democrats are now a National Socialist Party.” #gapol

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…
