On today’s special episode of Politically Georgia, we sit down with legendary Democratic strategist James Carville. Carville, who once predicted Kamala Harris would win the White House, recently wrote a New York Times essay explaining why he was wrong—and he shares his advice on how Democrats can find their way back to power.
We also ask Carville about Georgia’s shifting political landscape. He was instrumental in helping Zell Miller become governor in 1990, but since then, Republicans have dominated the governor’s mansion for seven consecutive election cycles. What does Carville think it will take for Democrats to flip the state once again?
And finally, today marks the end of an era—Bill Nigut steps down from Politically Georgia and retires after a remarkable five-decade career covering politics. Bill shares his reflections on his time in journalism and a few final thoughts as he signs off.
