Keisha Lance Bottoms Enters Georgia Governor Race

Former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms launched her campaign for Georgia’s governorship on Tuesday, taking a strong stance against President Donald Trump in a newly released campaign video.

In her remarks, she described Trump as a “disaster for our economy and our country,” pointing to his failure to address rising prices and the influence of wealthy individuals on Medicare and Social Security. She emphasized that “the Georgia family deserves far better than what Donald Trump and the Republicans are offering.”

Fox News Digital reached out to the White House for feedback but did not receive a quick reply.
