Brian Kemp and GA Secretary of State
Brad Raffensperger defeated the Trump-backed
GOP candidates in the May 24 GA primary races.
Since his election loss in 2020, Trump has attempted to cast himself as a Republican kingmaker.
Kemp's double-digit win over Trump-endorsed David Perdue seems to indicate otherwise.
This was the biggest political fight of the midterms for Donald Trump and he lost it by double digits, Mike Murphy, GOP Operative, via Yahoo News.
Governor Kemp has proven that a conservative with a strong record who is not afraid to square off against Trump can not only fend off the Donald, , Mike Murphy, GOP Operative, via Yahoo News.
... but can actually beat the former president quite badly, Mike Murphy, GOP Operative, via Yahoo News.
The GA races are thought to be especially contentious for Trump as it was one of the historically Republican states that turned for President Joe Biden in 2020.
As recently as March, Trump has referred to Kemp as a "turncoat," a "coward" and "a complete and total disaster.".
In light of Kemp's sweeping win, analysts are commending him for staying out of the fray with Trump.
Kemp never swung back at Trump.
You know it had to kill him inside, but the discipline
paid off, Brian Robinson, GA GOP Political Operative,
via Yahoo News.
Gov.
Kemp will face Democratic candidate Stacey Abrams in the election this fall.
GA Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger became known nationally in 2020 after a phone call with Trump was leaked.
During the call, Trump seemed to pressure Raffensperger to "find" the number of votes necessary to overturn Biden's win.
Raffensperger resisted the pressure.
He attributed his win on May 24 to Republican voters who had come "back home."

'Curb Your Enthusiasm' has captured the attention of Georgia's Secretary of State. The season premiere of the final season of the HBO comedy featured Larry David being arrested for violating Georgia's election integrity law for giving his friend Leon Black's aunt a bottle of water while she waited in line to vote on a hot day in Atlanta. He's now facing a looming trial on the series. The storyline must have made its way to the state capitol, because last month Georgia's Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger, sent a letter to David addressing the plotline about the 2021 voting law.

House Republican leaders have lambasted President Joe Biden for his perceived inaction in enforcing existing measures against Iran. Representative Steve Scalise, the No. 2 House Republican, voiced concerns over the administration's policies allegedly facilitating Iran's oil sales, which fund terrorism. The Biden administration faces mounting pressure to deter future attacks without exacerbating regional tensions or antagonising China, a major buyer of Iranian oil.

Biden Cancels Over $7 Billion in Student Debt , for More Than 277,000 Borrowers.
On April 12, President Joe Biden said that over 277,000 borrowers in more than
40 states will have $7.4 billion in student
loan debt wiped out, 'The Hill' reports. .
To date, the Biden administration has canceled $153 billion in student loan debt. .
From day one of my administration,
I promised to fight to ensure higher
education is a ticket to the middle class,
not a barrier to opportunity. , President Joe Biden, via statement.
I will never stop working to cancel
student debt – no matter how
many times Republican elected
officials try to stop us, President Joe Biden, via statement.
'The Hill' reports that Biden's loan forgiveness has largely been aimed at helping
"public service workers, those on IDR plans," .
people who've been defrauded by educational institutions and those with disabilities. .
Republican Rep. Virginia Foxx, chair of the House Education Committee, issued a statement in response to Biden's actions. .
The administration is tone deaf.
There’s no other way to put it, Rep. Virginia Foxx, chair of the House Education Committee, via statement.
We know that instead of doing its
job the administration focused
time, energy, and resources on
its illegal student loan scheme. , Rep. Virginia Foxx, chair of the House Education Committee, via statement.
And that has been frustrating, especially
since it has jeopardized the academic
journey of millions of students, Rep. Virginia Foxx, chair of the House Education Committee, via statement.
But what is absolutely maddening is
that the administration is STILL not
doing its job and instead focusing on
its student loan shenanigans. , Rep. Virginia Foxx, chair of the House Education Committee, via statement.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said, , “We know what Republicans are going to do; we can’t
stop them from that. But it’s also not going to stop the president from acting and taking action, like he is today.”

Two prominent members, Gaurav Vallabh and Sanjay Nirupam, shockingly resigned from the India National Congress, citing issues with the party's direction and stance. Vallabh's departure, posted on social media, highlighted ideological differences, while Nirupam's expulsion amid alliance tensions added to the turmoil.

Biden will call on U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai to triple tariffs on Chinese
steel and aluminum, NPR reports. .
Those tariffs are presently at about 7.5%.
While these Chinese imports "account for less than 1% of U.S. demand," the country's steel prices are 40% cheaper than America's, NPR reports. .
The White House is concerned that
this could prompt a surge of exports. .
China's policy-driven overcapacity poses
a serious risk to the future of the
American steel and aluminum industry, Lael Brainard, Biden's top economic adviser, via NPR.
The president understands
we must invest in American
manufacturing, but we also have
to protect those investments and
those workers from unfair exports. , Lael Brainard, Biden's top economic adviser, via NPR.
The Biden administration also sent officials to Mexico to discuss preventing Chinese steel from entering the U.S. via its southern neighbor. .
I want to emphasize our desire to
cooperate and partner with Mexico
on addressing imports coming in
to the North American market as
a way of circumventing tariffs, Senior administration official, via NPR.
I'm not going to get ahead
of the diplomatic conversations
that have happened today and
that will be happening in the
days and weeks to come. , Senior administration official, via NPR.
But I think we're hoping to come to
a mutually acceptable solution with
Mexico, because this is a problem that
affects both of our economies, Senior administration official, via NPR.

During a meeting with Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia’a Al-Sudani, President Biden was seen using a crib sheet with scripted comments, including pauses for translation. This is not uncommon for Biden, who has used similar aids before. Despite concerns about his mental acuity, Biden reiterated U.S. commitment to Israel's security amid tensions following Iran's attack on Israel.

The polling over the last several months
indicate this is a very close race. I wouldn't
read too much into any one or two polls
at this point. The trend seems to be
that the campaign will be a very tight
