The Balance of Power
Both of Georgia’s U.S. senators are Democrats. But when it comes to who has the power at the state Capitol, it’s been all Republicans for nearly a generation. The GOP has pulled off the trifecta in the Peach State — carrying the governor’s office and majorities in both the state House and Senate — for almost two decades.
That reign of power continues as the 2025 legislative session gets underway. But what weight does that kind of power carry? In short, it’s massive.
Republicans have total control over what bills get a committee hearing, a committee vote, a floor vote and final passage. But the margins are much thinner in recent years, putting more pressure on the GOP to hold its caucus together to get the majority of votes needed to pass legislation in both chambers.
