Political Rewind: Potential Backlash From New Election Law; Ga. Bills In Play On Eve Of Sine Die
Tuesday on Political Rewind: Fallout from the arrest of Georgia state Rep. Park Cannon continues. The representative from Atlanta returned to the state Capitol yesterday. Cannon was arrested last Thursday after knocking on Gov. Brian Kemp\u2019s private office while he was delivering remarks about the state\u2019s new election restrictions.\n\nAlso, after winning approval from the state Senate, an overhaul of Georgia\u2019s citizen\u2019s arrest law is one step closer to final approval. The law drew scrutiny last year when a south Georgia prosecutor insisted it protected the men who shot\xa025-year-old Ahmaud Arbery outside of Brunswick, Ga.\n\nMeanwhile, as Kemp prepares to lift all coronavirus restrictions, the director of CDC says she fears a new surge is on the horizon as states relax their rules.\n\nPanelists:\n\nSen.
