Speaking at the women’s event Radiant Conversations, Bottoms told attendees, “As black women, we are conditioned. Girl, you can’t depend on anybody else. If you don’t do it for yourself, ain’t nobody else gonna do it for you.” According to Breitbart, she went on to argue that this mindset is harmful, insisting, “And in many ways, that is a post-traumatic slave mentality,” and elaborating, “That it is – it is not just on our backs. That this is a burden that we can all carry. It’s a win for all of us. And so it is just remembering that this is a sisterhood, that this is about community. It’s not about going fast.”
Bottoms pressed the theme of collective responsibility, casting her political ambitions as part of a broader communal mission. “It’s about taking others with you, and I’m just – I’m so grateful to have learned those lessons and to be able to apply them in this season,” she continued, tying her personal narrative to a progressive vision of identity politics.
KIMBERLY GUILFOYLE RESIGNED BUT THE ALLEGATIONS DON'T END THERE
September 14, 2026
The former Atlanta mayor and senior adviser to Joe Biden is now seeking to lead Georgia, promising to contrast Biden’s tenure with that of President Donald Trump. She has asserted that Biden’s record stands superior, declaring that the president “delivered” for the state and pledging to make that comparison central to her campaign.

“I will put Biden up against Trump’s record any day of the week, especially in the way he delivered for Georgia,” she said during an appearance on CNN’s OutFront. Yet this claim comes as Georgia families continue to grapple with inflation, higher grocery bills, and rising healthcare costs under Biden-era policies that have expanded federal power and spending.

Bottoms attempted to channel voter frustration into support for bigger government solutions, saying, “The people of Georgia are talking about the cost of living. They’re talking about grocery costs. They’re talking about healthcare costs, 500,000 people in this state opted not to get healthcare after the big, ugly bill. Those are the things that people care about.” Rather than acknowledging how heavy regulation and Washington-driven mandates often drive up prices, she used those concerns to justify more intervention from the same political class that helped create the problem.

Her rhetoric toward President Trump has been openly hostile from the outset of her gubernatorial bid, as she branded him a threat to the nation’s prosperity and stability. She labeled the commander-in-chief a “disaster for our economy and our country — from his failure to address rising prices to giving an unelected billionaire the power to cut Medicare and Social Security,” echoing standard Democrat talking points that ignore Trump-era economic growth, energy independence, and lower taxes.

“Donald Trump is no laughing matter,” she said, before invoking a personal anecdote to frame her campaign as a fight against Republicans. “Well, My grandmama taught me, no matter how hard they swing you never stay down. You fight back. That’s why I’m running for governor, because Georgia families deserve far better than what Donald Trump and Republicans are giving us,” she added, even as many conservative voters remember a pre-Biden economy with stronger paychecks, lower inflation, and a federal government less eager to micromanage their daily lives.
