Conyers residents Kisha and Akeno Reid say they have suffered ongoing symptoms since the BioLab fire more than a month ago. Rockdale County issued a shelter-in-place advisory for 90,000 residents, and about 17,000 residents had to evacuate. Peter Zay/Anadolu/Getty Images/FileAbout 15,000 students from Rockdale County Public Schools couldn’t go to school for three weeks and had to learn remotely. The announcement came the same day Rockdale County lifted its nightly shelter-in-place advisory, which lasted for weeks. “The damage is already done.”Like other residents, Smith worries about her property value plummeting and possible long-term hazards to her family.

Ivanishvili had vowed to ban the opposition if his party won the election, and his opponents are taking him at his word. On Saturday, as Georgians cast their ballots, thousands of Georgian and international election observers fanned out to voting precincts across the country, from urban centers to poor, remote villages in the Caucasus mountains, trying to evaluate whether the vote was free and fair. Throughout election day, video of violations, some of them egregious, like a man boldly jamming ballots into a ballot box, spread quickly. “She is on the right side of history,” said opposition politician Nika Gvaramia. The illiberal leader has found common cause with Georgia’s ruling party and was the first international leader to congratulate them after the election – even before the votes were officially tallied.

Clarkston, Georgia CNN —Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Barack Obama used their first joint campaign appearance, on Thursday night in this Atlanta suburb, to issue parallel warnings about the dangers facing the country if Donald Trump is elected again to lead it. Battleground Georgia is the latest stop in a late-campaign sprint by Obama, who has leveled at Trump increasingly passionate attacks and rounds of mocking. After Obama’s speech, Harris came onstage, where they embraced before the vice president delivered a nearly identical message. “What I can’t understand is why anyone would think that Donald Trump will shake things up in a way that is good for you. On Saturday, Harris is also set to appear with former first lady Michelle Obama in Michigan.

Money is still tight for many in Brantley County in southeast Georgia, but its people no longer look to Democrats to help. CNNConnecting with TrumpBrantley County is rural, about an hour from the Atlantic coast, with the Okefenokee Swamp to the west. Ronald Ham, chairman of the Brantley County Republican Party, said local voters connect with Trump. People have to drive outside the county for work, which means gas prices matter a lot. “They can vote any way they want to vote,” Wilson said of his companions.

That football field transformed from a scene of tragedy to a symbol of resilience Friday as the community packed the bleachers to watch the survivors play. Still, a beloved fixture of Apalachee football wasn’t there: Assistant football coach Richard Aspinwall, who was killed in the shooting. It strangely looked like what a high school football game is supposed to look like, until there was a reminder that it wasn’t a normal football game. ‘It’s not going to be the same’For sophomore Michael Gordon, being back on the football field will always bring back memories of the day of the shooting. “We have resilient kids, not just on the football team, but we’ve got resilient kids in our school,” Hancock said.

A poll released last week from AAPI Data, a data analytics firm that focuses on Asian Americans, found that 66% of Asian American voters plan to support Harris and 28% intend to back Trump. The same survey found that 62% of Asian American voters say they have a favorable opinion of Harris, compared with 35% who hold an unfavorable view. Republican officials declined to elaborate on efforts to win over Asian American voters. The Harris campaign has three full-time staffers at the national headquarters dedicated to engaging Asian American voters, a spokeswoman said, with additional staff being deployed to Georgia and other battleground states. As she presided over a virtual phone bank from her kitchen one night last week, she said she believed Asian American voters could make the difference in her Southern battleground state.

Dalton, Georgia CNN —The face of a new era in American manufacturing is here, just off Interstate 75, tucked into this northwest corner of Georgia. That’s where you’ll find the Qcells plant that pumps out 32,000 solar panels a day and has a total panel production capacity of 5.1 gigawatts.

Georgia voter Christine Nguyen and John King in Decatur, Georgia CNNRebel Teahouse is in Decatur, in reliably blue suburban DeKalb County just outside Atlanta. It is one of the places that helped Biden to his stunning, razor-thin 2020 Georgia win and is now a key test of whether Harris can assemble a similar winning coalition. “Absolutely no,” was Gardner’s answer when we asked whether the switch from Biden to Harris would make him rethink. Republican George W. Bush won 66% in Gwinnett in 2004; in 2020, Biden carried the county with 58%.

Atlanta, Georgia CNN —The headwinds facing President Joe Biden’s reelection bid are as apparent in Georgia as any battleground. “President Trump still has to earn these Republican voters,” said Kelvin King, who was among Trump’s most prominent Black supporters in Georgia in 2016 and 2020. “Atlanta rent is way up, food prices soaring to record highs but Biden claims he’s lowering costs. “You know what you’re getting with Joe Biden,” Davis said in an interview in her store, the Beehive. “To me, former President Donald Trump just isn’t an option whatsoever.”The question is whether Singleton stands alone or represents a broader view among young voters.

Tbilisi, Georgia CNN —Georgia’s parliament has passed a controversial “foreign agents” bill despite widespread domestic opposition and warnings from the European Union that its enactment would imperil the country’s chances of joining the bloc. Many Georgians fear their foreign agents bill will be used the same way in their country. Georgia’s parliament now has 10 days to send the bill to President Salome Zourabichvili, who has already vowed to veto it. However, EU leaders have made it clear that the foreign agents bill’s passage would jeopardize Georgia’s chances of accession. Georgian law enforcement officers detain a demonstrator near the parliament in Tbilisi on May 14.

Yet she couldn’t bring herself to vote for Biden and didn’t vote that year. In the 2000 election, Democrat Al Gore received 70% in DeKalb; in 2020, Biden won 83%. Massachusetts native Kim Cavaliere, who moved to Georgia over 20 years ago, is pictured at her home in Dacula, Georgia. She’s still inclined to vote third-party again but is perhaps open to reconsidering if Georgia could settle a close race. It is rural, and reliably red – Trump won 71% of the county vote in 2020.

Rome, Georgia CNN —President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump will hold dueling events Saturday in Georgia as their rematch for the White House moves from an inevitable likelihood to an inescapable reality. “Georgia has been ground zero on the national political landscape since 2018,” said Fred Hicks, a Democratic strategist based in Georgia. Trump’s Georgia headwindsBut there are headwinds for Trump in Georgia as well – many of his own making. Many in the party blamed Trump’s election denialism and criticism of mail-in ballots for lower party turnout in those runoff contests. Another Georgia Republican, Rep. Mike Collins, is scheduled to be there as well.
