Political Rewind: Georgia Rally Marks 100 Days In Office For Biden, Warnock And Ossoff
Friday on Political Rewind: President Joe Biden marked his 100th day in office in Georgia yesterday, where he made the pitch for his expansive progressive agenda. He outlined sweeping legislation that would invest in nearly all corners of American life; from early childhood education and family paid leave to passenger railroad and renewable energy infrastructure. Biden appeared at a rally in Duluth with the Peach State’s pair of newly elected Democratic senators Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock. Gwinnett County saw a majority of its voters cast ballots for the three Democrats in the 2020 election. It was a crucial win for their party and a sign of the changing political landscape of the Atlanta suburbs. Ossoff and Warnock could be crucial to any legislation Biden seeks to pass in congress. Meanwhile, Attorney General Chris Carr announced this week he would step down as chair of a controversial association of Republican state attorneys general. The move comes as Carr sizes-up 2022 reelection challenges from Democratic opponents.
