A split Georgia electorate shapes the races for Senate and governor
A new bipartisan poll shows Jon Ossoff with a clear lead over Mike Collins, while the race for governor remains essentially tied between Keisha Lance Bottoms and Rick Jackson. On today’s episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Politically Georgia podcast, Greg Bluestein and Patricia Murphy examine why the two marquee contests are moving in different directions and how each party is targeting split-ticket voters. They also speak with Keith McNulty, leader of East Cobb Democrats, about the backlash to Donald Trump’s event at the school and what it reveals about the changing politics of Cobb County. Correction: An earlier version of this podcast description incorrectly identified Keith McNulty as a Wheeler High School graduate. The description has been updated to remove that reference.

Trump’s Cobb County policy event turns into a Georgia campaign rally

On today’s episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Politically Georgia podcast, Greg Bluestein and Patricia Murphy break down Trump’s attacks on U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff, his enthusiastic support for Republican Senate nominee Mike Collins and the political significance of holding the event in a county that has shifted sharply toward Democrats. They also examine Republican gubernatorial nominee Rick Jackson’s emotional speech and his proposal to provide an additional $1,000 for Georgia children enrolled in the new federal savings accounts.
