the 19th: “Former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms is formally launching a campaign for Georgia governor, saying she will take on what she calls President Donald Trump’s “disaster” of a second term in a governor’s race that remains wide open.
Bottoms officially launched her gubernatorial campaign Tuesday, telling The 19th that the president’s “erratic policies” have left Georgians anxious and uncertain about the future.
“We’re all dealing with the chaos of Trump 2.0,” said Bottoms, a Democrat. “It’s creating economic instability and anxiety for people who don’t know if they’re going to have a job tomorrow. … His leadership is impacting everything across Georgia, from whether we’re talking about tariffs that are impacting our coastal communities to how much people pay when they go to Walmart to shop.””
