Kemp responds to Trump targeting Atlanta's CDC in mass federal layoffs, Doug Shipman not running for re-election

On this week’s first Political Breakfast, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp responds to Donald Trump’s administration firing roughly 13-hundred workers at Atlanta’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. 

Employees told NPR they wish to remain anonymous, and reported the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency cut about 10 percent of the workforce. 

Meanwhile, is Kemp setting the stage to announce a U.S. Senate run next year? 

Republican strategist Brian Robinson, Democratic strategist Tharon Johnson and host Lisa Rayam discuss all that, plus Atlanta City Council President Doug Shipman announcing he will not run for re-election.

He recently made the announcement on social media, saying he has to focus his time and effort on serious medical challenges within his family.
