- In his inaugural address, President Donald Trump suggested that the Gulf of Mexico should be renamed the “Gulf of America.” The Gulf of Mexico spans the eastern coast of Mexico and borders five southeastern U.S. states. In order for President Trump to make this happen, Congress would have to pass a law. Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor-Greene (R-Rome) introduced legislation to change the name of the body of water. Although the U.S. could change the name of the gulf, other countries may or may not recognize the name change. #news #topnews #trump #gulfofmexico #marjorietaylorgreene #inauguration

In addition to analyzing GSP’s raw data from 2019-2023, the AJC’s investigation analyzed national data from 2018-2022, the latest year of federal data available, and found that people died in Georgia more often as a result of pursuits on roadways than in any other state.

- Description
- U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock sketched out how he thinks Vice President Kamala Harris can capture Georgia in November. He said it was “silly” to suggest President Joe Biden resign early.
And the Georgia Democrat didn’t rule out whether he would accept a hypothetical offer to serve as Harris’ running mate.
Warnock was the featured guest Monday at a “Politically Georgia” live event in Savannah, just hours after Biden announced he would end his campaign and back Harris in November.

Meet the Georgia delegates to the Republican National Convention
By Greg Bluestein
Georgia will send 59 delegates and 56 alternate delegates to the Republican National Convention to formally nominate former President Donald Trump in his comeback bid against President Joe Biden.
The four-day convention will take on a more somber tone after an assassination attempt left a suspected shooter and a spectator dead at Donald Trump’s rally Saturday in rural Pennsylvania.
Before the rally, Georgia delegates were expecting a triumphant party celebrating the former president, who has staked a solid single-digit lead over Biden in Georgia. And though Georgia dealt Trump devastating political and legal setbacks, he dominated the state’...

- Kemp's peace offering to Trump's GOP at the 2024 RNC

- Description
- Gov. Brian Kemp has steered clear of the Georgia GOP and kept his distance from Donald Trump. But on Tuesday he tried to make peace with the state party as he again pledged to support the former president in November.
The olive branch was extended at a ballroom at the Lake Lawn Resort in rural Wisconsin, where most of the roughly 100 Georgia delegates and alternates — some of the state’s most loyal Trump devotees — showered the governor with applause when he promised a united front.
“We’re a red state, and we’re going to be a red state in ‘24,” Kemp told the state’s delegation to the Republican National Convention. “And we’re going to turn around and be a red state when we have an open governor’s race in 2026.”

By Caleb Groves
This story was republished after former President Donald Trump’s announced JD Vance as his running mate. This story was originally published on July 12, 2024.
With Donald Trump’s pick for a running mate expected in the coming days, State Sen. Josh McLaurin joined “Politically Georgia” to discuss how his former college roommate, U.S. Sen. JD Vance, went from calling the former president “America’s Hitler” to the shortlist of possible vice presidential picks.
During his time at Yale Law School, McLaurin said he thought of the Ohio senator as a very thoughtful and charismatic person who had a chance at reinventing what it meant to be a Republi...
