On this edition of Political Breakfast, Republican strategist Brian Robinson and Democratic strategist Tharon Johnson join Morning Edition, live, to talk about Governor Brian Kemp's decision not to run for U.S. Senate.
The speculation suddenly ended Monday, when the second-term Georgia Governor took to social media, writing: "Being on the ballot next year is not the right decision for me and my family."
So then, who is the right person to take on incumbent Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff, who IS running for re-election?
Both Brian and Tharon share their theories with host Lisa Rayam.
