President Donald Trump, with first lady Melania Trump, is greeted by Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp and his wife Marty, as they arrive on Air Force One at Lawson Army Airfield, Fort Benning, Ga., Friday, March 8, 2019.

State Sen. Renee Unterman is set to announce she is running for the 7th district seat in congress. She will build her primary campaign around her role in guiding Georgia’s new abortion statute through the Senate. How can we expect the race to play out as a result?

Meanwhile, Georgia democrats say the abortion law will play a central role in their organized effort to take control of the state house.
