The National Rifle Association endorsed Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle, days before the July 24 GOP runoff against Secretary of State Brian Kemp.  This comes as Kemp tried to paint Cagle as weak on gun issues.

 

The NRA’s president-elect, Oliver North, is set to headline three rallies on Saturday for Cagle’s campaign for governor. Cagle and Kemp, who have an endorsement from the GeorgiaCarry.org state gun rights organization, have increasingly competed over who is the most vocal supporter of the Second Amendment. This as the two rally for support from conservatives who will decide the GOP nominee.

The panel weighs in on the latest developments in the Georgia governor’s race.

Panelists:

Democratic State Representative Brenda Lopez

Atlanta Journal-Constitution Editor Kevin Riley

Atlanta Journal-Constitution Lead Political Reporter Journalist Greg Bluestein

Republican strategist Heath Garrett

Former Georgia U.S. Congressman Buddy Darden
