ATLANTA — Former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms addressed recent claims by President Donald Trump that she was fired from her White House role.

The race for Georgia’s governor will have a Republican and Democrat challenger because Gov. Brian Kemp cannot run for a third term.

Atlanta's former mayor announced she resigned from her position on President Biden's Export Council on Jan. 4, one day before President Trump claimed she was fired as part of his removal of over 1,000 Biden-era appointees.

Former Atlanta mayor and senior advisor to former President Joe Biden, Keisha Lance Bottoms, says she's 99% sure she wants to run for Georgia governor.

"We know there are races that will be taking place in the state of Georgia in 2026. I'm paying attention to what those opportunities may be," Bottoms said.

With his infamous “You’re Fired!” phrase, Trump terminated Lance Bottoms via social media, but the former mayor reminded him she had already resigned.

Atlanta's former mayor, who served in the Biden Administration, says she's strongly considering a run for Georgia governor after claiming President Donald Trump is already failing to deliver on his campaign promises.

Keisha Lance Bottoms, the former mayor of Atlanta who ushered the city through COVID and the George Floyd uprising in May 2020, is heading back to Georgia and back into Georgia politics. Bottoms hinted at a run for the Georgia governor’s office in a recent interview with Jorge Estevez of Atlanta’s WSB-TV.
