Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed may be changing his tune about state Sen. Jason Carter’s bid to become Georgia’s next governor.

Reed, if you’ll recall, wasn’t waving pom poms back in January when reporters asked him about Carter’s candidacy to unseat incumbent Republican Gov. Nathan Deal. Reed reportedly has gubernatorial ambitions of his own, and has maintained a good working relationship with the governor.
