Episode Description from the Publisher

President Donald Trump’s planned White House address is already reshaping Georgia politics before he delivers it. On today’s episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Politically Georgia podcast, Greg Bluestein and Tia Mitchell explain why Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock are mounting a preemptive response and how renewed scrutiny of the 2020 election could complicate the campaigns of Mike Collins and Rick Jackson. They also examine how the Libertarian Party’s failure to qualify statewide candidates makes November runoffs far less likely and changes the strategy for Georgia’s marquee races.
