Gingrich warns home state of impending GOP doom
Former House speaker Newt Gingrich continued Wednesday to issue dire warnings about his Republican Party’s prospects for November’s election.
“When you lose the speaker’s seat in Illinois that you’ve had for 75 years, and you lose a seat in Louisiana you’ve had since 1977…and you look at the national polling data, you had better figure out that the voters generally are not happy with how Republicans have run Washington,” the former speaker said as reported by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Political Insider.
Gingrich, in Atlanta to witness a Georgia bill signing, said Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign future is now “verging on a cliff.”

Lewis promises ‘non-violent’ thrashing of challengers
Facing his first primary challenge in a decade, Rep. John Lewis said Wednesday he is confident he can take on the two Democrats seeking to displace him. The civil rights icon, whose career began in nonviolent protesting, quipped: “I’m going to give them a non-violent kick.”
The Atlanta Democrat, first elected to Congress in 1986, said he was “somewhat surprised that someone would challenge me and talk about change. That’s what I’ve been about all my life. I am change. But it’s OK. People have a right to run.”
He said he would continue returning every weekend to his home district and take nothing for granted. “I want to win big,” Lewis said. “No one is going to outwork me.”
Two Atlanta Democrats, Markel Hutchins, a minister, and State Rep. Able Mable Thomas, have filed to run against Lewis in the July 15 primary.
