  • An Election Day edition: Abortion on the ballot, fate of Trump trial stars to be decided

    An Election Day edition: Abortion on the ballot, fate of Trump trial stars to be decided
    May 21 2024
    It’s Primary Day in Georgia! Tamar Hallerman and Sam Gringlas discuss two key races on the ballot today that feature candidates working in the Trump Georgia election conspiracy trial. Judge Scott McAfee, the presiding judge in the Fulton County case, faces a challenger, but today’s vote will determine whether he continues in his job. There is no November election for his position. Fulton County DA Fani Willis is on the ballot. If she wins her primary race against one opponent, she will be the odds on favorite to beat the republican running for her position in November. Then the podcast takes up the hotly contested state Supreme Court race, which pits incumbent Justice Andrew Pinson against challenger John Barrow. Barrow has aggressively promoted his commitment to restoring abortion rights for women in Georgia, but faces potential disciplinary action from the Judicial Qualifications Commission, which has criticized him for injecting a political policy issue into his campaign. Finally, AJC government reporter Maya T. Prabhu discusses races that, because of GOP redistricting, are pitting incumbent Democratic lawmakers against one another.

  • State GOP elects Jan. 6 rally organizer to key national Republican post

    State GOP elects Jan. 6 rally organizer to key national Republican post
    May 20 2024
    We kick off a brand-new week of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Politically Georgia podcast with a review of a busy political weekend in the Peach State. The AJC’s Bill Nigut and Tia Mitchell, along with Greg Bluestein and Patricia Murphy discuss what they saw and heard while covering President Biden’s visit to Atlanta which included a private fundraiser and the much-anticipated commencement speech at Morehouse College.   Republican state Senator Randy Robertson joins the podcast to discuss the events that unfolded at the state GOP’s annual convention in Columbus. They included the election of far-right MAGA Republican Amy Kremer, who won an upset election to become a member of the Republican National Committee. Kremer campaigned, in part, on the fact that she was the one who obtained the permit for the “Save America” rally at which former President Trump urged the crowd to march to the Capitol, where certification of the election was taking place.   Plus, AJC elections and government reporter Mark Niesse gives a preview of tomorrow’s primary election.

Solid, honest news.

I simply love Bill Nigut and his team! They bring really good news that's based on fact. They break down Georgia, National and International issues so that ordinary people can digest it.
