Friday on Political Rewind: Kasim Reed conceded in the race for mayor of Atlanta. The Nov. 30 runoff will see City Council President Felicia Moore face councilman Andre Dickens.

Meanwhile, Gov. Brian Kemp and other Republicans on the 2022 ballot have moved quickly to trumpet the anti-Biden messaging that led to an upset GOP victory in the Virginia governor’s race.

DeKalb County CEO Michael Thurmond made it clear he will not rule out the possibility that he may run for governor next year. Thurmond was asked if he would consider running if Stacey Abrams announces she will not challenge Brian Kemp in that race.

“I’m always interested," he said. "Hope springs eternal in every political heart. We’ll see what the future brings.”
