Political Rewind: Kemp Calls All Adults For Vaccination; Ga. Bills Debated In Session's Final Days
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’s return ticket to normalcy. In 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. Also, 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’s little chance the bills will pass the Senate.
