On today’s episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Politically Georgia podcast, Governor Brian Kemp joins the podcast to talk about the widespread devastation that much of Georgia has experienced as Hurricane Helene roared through the state. Top political aide to Governor Kemp, Cody Hall, describes the importance of bipartisan cooperation between the GOP state government and the Democratic Biden Administration as the weather emergency unfolded.
Then, Harris campaign strategist Dan Kanninen looks at the sensitive question of how to promote the Harris campaign objectives in Georgia even as so many in the state are trying to recover from the storm, and then describes the Harris strategy for winning Georgia.
Finally, Georgia Department of Transportation spokesperson Natalie Dale gives us an update on road conditions across Georgia and offers safety tips for avoiding dangerous driving conditions.
