Keisha Lance Bottoms just won the Governor’s race — but the biggest fight in her house right now isn’t political. It’s about the Governor’s Mansion.
The Rickey Smiley Morning Show team told Keisha they had a whole on-air argument about her move: the mansion is right there, she lives right here — so where is she going to stay? Would she keep clothes in both places? How would it even work?
Keisha settled it, laughing. She and her husband Derek live within three miles of the house he grew up in, in Southwest Atlanta — and he’s not trying to leave it. “He’s like, yeah, no, I’m good right here,” she said. “He’s got his favorite chairs.”
And it’s not just Derek. She asked her 18-year-old son Langston if he was moving, and he hit her with the same energy: “Why would I do that?”
Her own plan for the move might be the most Atlanta answer ever given: “I just thought it would be like college — you put a few of your clothes in the trunk and load up some cars.”
Governor-elect problems. Watch the clip and tell us — if YOU won the Governor’s Mansion, would you move in, or stay home like the Bottoms family?
