Sen. Jon @ossoff’s campaign responds:
“After nearly a year-long brutally messy audition to win over the White House, Trump puppets Mike Collins and Derek Dooley have made themselves both unelectable and terminally inseparable from the toxic president.” #gapol

The numbers are in: Republican Rick Jackson spent another $28.5 million of his own cash since the May 19 primary on his runoff campaign for governor. (The report also includes another $10M loan from early May.) He’s spent $107M overall, most of it from his own account. #gapol

One of the biggest tests of Democratic turnout before Georgia’s special redistricting session is unfolding in a suburban Gwinnett County district that should be safely blue. But early voting numbers are giving Democrats heartburn. #gapol ajc.com/politics/2026/06/dem…

The 11th Circuit just delivered a rebuke of Georgia’s leadership committee law, which allows a small group of candidates to raise unlimited campaign cash.
“Gubernatorial candidate Rick Jackson is the latest in a line of would-be governors who have objected to the uncapped fundraising opportunity that Georgia law offers incumbent Governors and Lieutenant Governors. And he is likely correct. The First Amendment does not forgive such favoritism.” #gapol

Several Republican lawmakers have quietly questioned the wisdom of redistricting now, worrying that the fight could energize Democrats and expose candidates in competitive statewide races and swing legislative districts to unnecessary political headaches.
Some are hoping Kemp could narrow the session’s scope after the runoff. But there is little sign now he’s open to that possibility. #gapol

Why risk the backlash now?
Republicans see an opportunity after a Supreme Court ruling weakened the Voting Rights Act and prompted calls from President Trump to redraw maps in GOP-controlled states.
“It’s not a matter of if, but when,” Gov. Kemp told me. ajc.com/politics/2026/06/the…

U.S. Rep. Buddy Carter lost the Republican Senate primary, but he may still decide who wins the runoff. Both candidates are racing to win over Carter’s supporters, a bloc large enough to tip the race, even as he insists he won’t endorse either. #gapol

I interviewed @senatorwarnock back in February for @PoliticallyGa about how he interprets GOP politics through a faith lens. Similar comments appear to have got under the skin of Speaker Johnson recently. podcasts.apple.com/tz/podcas…

I spent time talking with voters there and found plenty of uncertainty. Some are sticking with Donald Trump’s pick. Others love Jackson’s boot-strapping story and outsider appeal. Many said they’re simply tired of the flood of attack ads. #gapol

There are swing counties. And then there are split counties. In Georgia’s GOP race for governor, few places tell the story better than Habersham County, where Burt Jones and Rick Jackson finished in a dead-even tie in the May primary: 2,640 votes each. 1/ #gapol

Gov. Kemp on whether MARTA is ready for the World Cup: "From the whole city perspective, we are communicating with them daily, and have been for almost two years now, on the security plan. If anybody needs additional resources, all they've got to do is call and ask us. We've also got National Guard assets, all our state assets, everything that the city is doing. We'll do anything anybody wants us to do." #gapol

Georgia legislative leaders are turning up the pressure on MARTA after several violent attacks on the transit system, demanding answers just days before Atlanta begins hosting matches for the FIFA World Cup. #gapol
