  • Summary

  • 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.
