Harris campaigns to keep Black voters on her side, especially the men | Georgia
SUMMARY: Vice President Kamala Harris’ success hinges on minority voters, particularly in battleground states. While she retains majority support from Black and Hispanic voters, Donald Trump has gained traction, notably among young Black men, leading to a 12% swing in favor of Trump compared to 2020. Recent polls indicate only 78% of Black likely voters support Harris, dropping to 76% with third-party candidates included. Former President Obama is campaigning to boost Black voter turnout, though his efforts appear ineffective. In Georgia, where Black voters represent 30% of registered voters, early voting indicates strong participation, but Trump currently leads in polls by 1.5%.

Study: AI and data centers could drive cost of energy up by 70% over 10 years | Virginia
SUMMARY: A report by the Jack Kemp Foundation warns that average American energy bills could rise by 25% to 70% over the next decade due to soaring energy demands driven by AI, hyperscale data centers, and advanced manufacturing. The surge is straining the U.S. power grid, leading to significant price increases in capacity markets. Dominion Energy disputes these findings, predicting only a 2.5% annual increase in Virginia. The report argues for policy changes, including charging data centers more for energy and halting subsidies for their construction to alleviate the burden on consumers. Recommendations also include implementing minimum take clauses for utility contracts.

SUMMARY: A former DeKalb County deputy, Joanne Marx, has been arrested for bringing contraband, including a cell phone and cigarettes, into the jail and engaging in sexual acts with an inmate. Meanwhile, former inmate Tobias Woods faces felony murder charges linked to the overdose death of Christian Collins, who consumed fatal drugs supplied by Woods. The DeKalb County District Attorney is committed to eliminating corruption in the jail and is investigating how these drugs entered the facility. The DA emphasized that incarceration should not lead to death, stressing accountability for those involved.
DeKalb County District Attorney Sherry Boston announced 2 arrests Thursday afternoon in connection to DeKalb County Jail.
SUMMARY: Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr announced his candidacy for the 2026 Republican gubernatorial nomination. In a post on his X page, Carr emphasized his commitment to building on the legacies of former governors Brian Kemp, Nathan Deal, and Sonny Perdue by focusing on job creation, community safety, and defending constitutional freedoms. With Kemp term-limited, Carr, who has been attorney general since 2016 and previously served in economic development and as chief of staff to Senator Johnny Isakson, enters a race that includes at least one other candidate, Democrat Olu Brown, who announced his campaign in August.
