Now we wait for the backlash over who was left off the list. I'm also wondering if yesterday's Atlanta shooting will effectively eliminate Atlanta Mayor Kiesha Bottoms from further consideration.
I don't think so; the police chief quit, so it'll be interesting to see who takes her place.

One potential issue for Mayor Bottoms is that her husband is a VP at Home Depot, whose founder Bernie Marcus is a major Republican donor/Trump supporter/social conservative/anti-gay activist.
I think he'd need to quit that job if she gets the nod.
Yes, I saw that too, but it wouldn't be the first case of a "mixed marriage" in terms of politics. I agree though that the best thing would be for him to quit.
