'Bald-faced lie': Houston Chronicle torches TX Gov Abbott's 'bankrupt conscience' and 'cowardice'

(Houston Chronicle) "Whether it’s a handgun, rifle or semi-automatic invented for war, the governor has supported and the Legislature has passed law after law that have obliterated any semblance of good sense regulation — laws so permissive that they’ve even defied the objections of police chiefs and gun safety instructors, including the 2021 permitless carry bill that the governor bragged on Twitter allows any eligible Texan to carry a gun in public with 'no license or training' needed. As though that were progress."

Kemp defeats Perdue in Georgia, a major blow to Trump

(The Hill) Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) was projected to win his renomination for a second term on Tuesday, overcoming a primary challenge from former Sen. David Perdue (R-Ga.) and, by extension, former President Trump. ABC and NBC News both called the race for Kemp around 8:30 p.m. ET. Kemp, a onetime ally of the former president, stirred Trump’s ire following the 2020 presidential election after he rebuffed his pleas to overturn President Biden’s electoral victory in Georgia. Trump vowed to campaign against Kemp, eventually persuading Perdue to enter the race for governor in hopes of ousting him. But despite carrying Trump’s endorsement, Perdue struggled to gain traction among Georgia Republican voters.
