Bottoms Launches Georgia Governor Bid, Targets Trump | JQJO

Former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms is launching a gubernatorial bid in Georgia, aiming to break a Democratic losing streak. Her platform includes Medicaid expansion and tax cuts for teachers. While she boasts high name recognition and national praise for her handling of protests, she also faced criticism for rising crime rates and a divided city during her mayoral tenure. Republicans plan to focus on her crime record as a key attack point. Bottoms, a former Biden advisor, highlights her experience and willingness to fight for Georgians, contrasting herself with Trump-aligned Republicans.
