Political Rewind: Kemp Calls All Adults For Vaccination; Ga. Bills Debated In Session's Final Days

Published: March 24, 2021, 4:25 p.m.

Wednesday on Political Rewind: All adults in Georgia will be eligible for COVID-19 vaccinations. Gov. Brian Kemp said the dramatic expansion is the state\u2019s return ticket to normalcy.\n\nIn the state Capitol, voter restrictions bills proposed by Republican lawmakers continue to change. A measure restricting Sunday voting is now off the table, but legislation mandating stricter voter identification and a restriction of ballot boxes are still present in debate.\n\nAlso, Democrats in the U.S. Senate are citing the shooting sprees in Colorado and Georgia as proof the Senate should act on bills to establish background checks for nearly all gun purchases among other measures. But observers say there\u2019s little chance the bills will pass the Senate.\n\nPanelists:\n\nGreg Bluestein \u2014 Politics Reporter, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution\n\nRiley Bunch \u2014 CNHI Statehouse Reporter\n\nJeremiah Olney \u2014 Democratic Strategist\n\nJulie Smith \u2014 Mayor of Tifton, Ga.
