Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp poked fun at the cultural divide around electric vehicles, arguing they’re not always a fit for rural life. “You can’t pull a bass boat with a F-150 Lightning,” he told our @jmartroad, contrasting EV skepticism outside cities with their appeal in places like Atlanta. Still, Kemp made an unexpected pitch: EVs could come in handy for hunters. “If you’re shooting hogs at night and you want to move around quietly, having an electric vehicle’s a good way to do that,” @govkemp said.

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp weighed in on the political futures of Sens. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff, suggesting one may have the edge in a presidential race. “I’d probably say Warnock,” Kemp told our @jmartroad, adding the Georgia Dem could “excite a lot of people” in a primary. @govkemp argued Ossoff’s close alignment with Biden could make him vulnerable at home. “He voted 98% of the time with Joe Biden… and that’s not where Georgia is,” he said. Still, Kemp downplayed the national threat. “I’m not worried about Warnock,” he said. “I’m worried about beating Ossoff.” Watch the full interview at the link in bio.

U.S. lawmakers on Thursday confronted Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on vaccines, the Trump administration’s handling of health care fraud and comments he made about psychiatric medications and Black children. Kennedy, who has sought to roll back longstanding vaccine policy, testified in hearings on Capitol Hill that the measles vaccine was safe and effective “for most people” and agreed it was safer than getting measles. His comments, while carefully couched, were a sharp break with his past rhetoric. Read more about the hearings at the link in our bio.

Displaced families returned to southern Lebanon on Friday, hours after a 10-day cease-fire pausing Israel’s military campaign against Hezbollah went into effect. The cease-fire removes a major hurdle to ending the U.S.-Iran war because the Iranian government has insisted that the truce extend to Lebanon.

The Commission of Fine Arts, which is filled with President Trump’s appointees, is scheduled on Thursday to review Trump’s plan to build a 250-foot “triumphal arch” in Washington. But the president’s push to build the giant arch — more than quadrupling its size from original plans — has alienated early supporters of the project, classical architects and veterans groups who say it will diminish nearby Arlington Cemetery.
