"March 2021, with even the legislation's most vocal advocates having questioned the point of holding gun related show votes that are doomed to fail. Will that change? Now that the victims are children, it's too soon to know, late Tuesday nights and a majority leader Chuck Schumer took procedural steps, allowing him to bring the House passed bills up for a vote. But will that actually spark a bipartisan conversation on finding a compromise that can clear the filibuster that's another matter entirely with the midterms approaching and a host of other important issues vying for attention. The odds that real talks will relaunch are slim at best. Speaking from The White House last night, president Joe Biden issued an emotional call to action, railing against assault weapons and politicians who are afraid of the gun lobby. Why are we willing to live with this carnage? Why do we keep letting this happen? We're in God's name is our backbone. To have the courage to deal with it and stand up to the lobbies. It's a time to turn this pain into action. For every parent, for every citizen of this country, we have to make it clear to every elected official in this country. It's time to act, but is Biden willing to spend his political capital to try to get things moving on Capitol Hill when Democrat in particular vowed to restart bipartisan talks, or at least try senator Chris Murphy gave an impassioned speech imploring his GOP colleagues to come to the bargaining table, as he has after similar tragedies many times before. But I'm here on this floor to beg to literally get down on my hands and knees and beg my colleagues. Find a path forward here. Work with us to find a way to pass laws that make this less likely. Let's say that Democrats do put serious time and energy into finding a gun control compromise. Would it bear fruit? The conventional wisdom for a while now has been that if the murder of 20 young children and a half dozen teachers at sandy hook elementary a decade ago didn't meaningfully move Jupiter lawmakers to back stricter gun laws, nothing will. On Tuesday, senator Susan Collins told reporters that she thinks there's a conversation to be had on tightening so called red flag laws aimed at preventing violent criminals or mentally unstable individuals from purchasing guns. Senator Lindsey Graham, who was part of a field negotiation for bipartisan red flag law in 2019, tweeted that the chamber should quote debate and vote and senator Tom tillis, who's also dead in such talks before, said he's willing to re-engage, though only quote as long as it doesn't deny any rights for law abiding citizens. But already, men Republicans have signaled a refusal to budge. If you weren't up late watching the polls come in, don't worry, team playbook has got you covered on major takeaways from Tuesday's primaries. Takeaway number one, Trump loses bigly in Georgia. A few days ago, former senator David perdue, poured cold water on poles, suggesting that Brian Kemp was trouncing him and George's gubernatorial rates, quote I can dame guarantee you that we are not down 30 points. That was technically true, as of 5 a.m. this morning, Kemp is beating Purdue by about 52 points. Perhaps worse for Trump, secretary state Brad raffensperger, who refused Trump's order to quote find him more than 11,000 votes to overturn Biden's 2020 victory. In Georgia, defeated Trump endorsed representative Jody hice by nearly 20 points, raffensperger's win is a major repudiation of Trump's plan to install election deniers and positions of power. As Politico colleague David Snyder's wrote in our election night live chat kept quote looks like a case study in how to survive in the Trump era, try not to criticize Trump, pass lots of conservative policy and use the power of incumbency to keep local power brokers on your side. Take away number two in Alabama, another Trump embarrassment, two months after Trump on endurance representative mo Brooks as a Senate campaign floundered in the polls and astounding rebuke of one of his strongest former allies in the house, the congressman found a way to hold on. He, along with former senator Richard Shelby 8 Katie Britt, appears to be headed to a runoff, with Britt garnering nearly 45% of the vote and Brooks a 29% with about 91% of the vote counted. Takeaway number three, a warning for demps eager to run on abortion politics. In Texas 28th district conservative Democrat incumbent and cuellar is running neck and neck with progressive challenger Jessica cisneros. His former staffer in one of the most scrutinized democratic primaries of the night. As of shortly after midnight, cuellar, one of the only Democrats in Congress who opposes abortion rights, led by less than 200 votes. The fact that the left couldn't easily dislodge the incumbent following news about the likely overturning of roe versus wade in a state filled with Republicans eager to end abortion access, signals a real problem for Democrats, many are eager to run on abortion rates and fears about overturning the row. But it's unclear whether their own base is sufficiently motivated by this issue. Meanwhile, progressives are pissed to say the least last night representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who campaigned for cisneros, tried to democratic leaders for standing with cuellar. She tweeted, quote, on the day of a mass shooting and weeks after news of rope, Democratic Party leadership rallied for a pro NRA, anti choice incumbent under investigation in a close primary, robocalls, fundraisers, all of it. Accountability isn't partisan. This was an utter failure of leadership. Here's what's up in Washington today starting with The White House at 4 p.m. eastern, president Joe Biden will sign an executive order on police reform. He and vice president Kamala Harris will deliver remarks. The Senate is in today, testifying before appropriation subcommittees, FBI director Christopher wray at 2 p.m., U.S. aid administrator cement the power to 30, and he was capitol police chief de Thomas manager at three 45. The house is out today. FDA commissioner Robert Calif will testify on the infant formula shortage before an energy and commerce subcommittee at 11 a.m..

"Put aside this special hour to go in depth and issues and stories important to metro Atlanta. This past week, The United States Supreme Court on its final day issued a ruling that has some impact on Georgia, CBS Supreme Court correspondent Jan Crawford, it was seen as an important test for new restrictions on voting. Arizona provisions on the books for years that kick out votes cast in the wrong precinct and banned so called ballot harvesting, where third parties other than family, collect and turn in absentee ballots. Neither provision, the court said in a 63 vote along ideological lines violated the Voting Rights Act because they were not enacted with a racially discriminatory purpose. And states have a legitimate interest in preventing fraud. That's something, Arizona attorney General Mark Runavik argued. We want to make sure that everyone has the ability and the right to exercise the franchise. But we also want to make sure that everyone has Confidence in the process and they respect the results, and that's what these blocks are designed to do. But liberal justices said the decision undermines the Voting Rights act because laws like Arizona's can be a barrier to minority voting. In a statement, President Biden said he was deeply disappointed in the decision and called on Congress to pass new legislation. At the same time, his Justice Department is suing one state. Georgia, saying it's new voting law intentionally discriminates against black voters decision today may make that lawsuit more difficult, and estates has more restrictive voting laws.
