*A new report says Georgia Governor Brian Kemp is considering a run for a federal office in 2028. Citing a source claiming to be familiar with the outgoing governor, reports say Kemp is weighing a possible run for the presidency or maybe for a U.S. Senate seat. The Washington Post reports Kemp has emerged as one of the Republican Party’s more prominent governors, some say due in part to his well-publicized disagreements with President Trump over Georgia’s certification of the 2020 election results. Despite those clashes, Kemp won reelection in 2022 and remains a significant figure in national GOP politics.
*The Georgia Secretary of State’s Office is continuing to investigate after a memory card containing 388 previously uncounted ballots was found in Seminole County during a post-election review. State officials say the discrepancy was uncovered when the number of voters who checked in did not match the number of ballots reported. Newsweek reports the newly counted votes flipped the lead in House District 154, turning a 58-vote advantage for Democrat Harry James into a 262-vote lead for Republican incumbent Gerald Greene. Officials are now examining how the memory card was overlooked before county results are certified.
*An Atlanta woman is continuing her nearly five-decade search for her son, who was abducted as a newborn. This weekend marked 48 years since Raymond Green disappeared from his family’s Atlanta home when he was just five days old. The case remains unsolved.
