Political Rewind: Kemp Expected To Announce Vaccine Expansion; Shootings Reignite Gun Control Debate
Tuesday on Political Rewind:\xa0Gov. Brian Kemp is expected to announce an expansion of\xa0vaccine eligibility to all adults in Georgia. The move could come as\xa0soon as the first weeks of April. But\xa0will the state be able to meet the challenge of the expected surge of people seeking COVID-19 vaccinations?\n\nAlso, shooting violence in Boulder, Colo., yesterday is the latest example of an epidemic of gun violence in this country. Gun control advocates say the troubling trend, including\xa0the string of shootings in Atlanta last week, should push\xa0lawmakers to commit\xa0to reform.\n\nAdditionally, longtime observers of the state legislature know the bicameral body can be a breeding ground for sexist remarks and\xa0leering glances. But now, a group of women legislators and the chairman of the House Ethics Committee are demanding\xa0an end to the\xa0chauvinistic behavior.\n\nOur panel discussed the latest on these stories.\n\nPanelists:\n\nDr. Andra Gillespie \u2014 Professor of Political Science and Director, James Weldon Johnson Institute for the Study of Race and Difference, Emory University\n\nRyan Graham \u2014 Chairman, Georgia Libertarian Party\n\nTamar Hallerman \u2014 Senior Reporter, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution\n\nRep. Mary Margaret Oliver \u2014 State Representative (D-Decatur)
