The winners and losers of Georgia’s runoff elections
Jun 20, 2024•55 min•Transcript available on Metacast Episode description
The Georgia’s primary runoff elections now behind us. On
today’s episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Politically Georgia
podcast, hosts Patricia Murphy and Tia Mitchell look at the winners and losers
of Georgia’s runoffs and talk about what it means as we head into the November
elections.
Republican strategist Stephen Lawson joins the podcast to discuss the
closely watched GOP races in Georgia’s 2nd and 3rd
congressional districts. State Senator
Gloria Butler joins the program to talk about what it means that several
Democratic candidates with support from some of the party’s top leaders lost
their local races.
And later, our hosts discuss former special prosecutor
Nathan Wade’s recent media blitz. Some are speculating that Wade could be
seeking a TV contract, but legal experts tell the AJC that Wade’s media tour
could put what’s left of the Trump election interference case in peril, since
the Court of Appeals is scrutinizing whether his relationship with the DA
should disqualify her from the case.
