Jan 15, 2024•56 min•Transcript available on Metacast Episode description
All eyes on are icy Iowa ahead of the caucuses there tonight. Today on The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's ‘Politically Georgia’, Tia Mitchell and Patricia Murphy join the show to report on their adventures covering the run-up to the Iowa caucuses as sub-zero temperatures grip the state. Rick Dent offers insights based on his years of work as an adviser to three Southern governors and as a political consultant.
Then, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis speaks publicly for the first time about the allegation that she is engaged in a romantic relationship with the special prosecutor she appointed to head the election interference case against former President Donald Trump. She calls the charges, filed in a motion by the attorney for one of Trump’s co-defendants, racist attacks.
Plus, on this Martin Luther King Jr. holiday, Tia Mitchell discusses her profile of U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock, the inheritor of King’s pulpit as pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church.
