Georgia’s Place in the South’s New Political Power Center

Listen for free

View show details

Political and economic power is increasingly moving toward the South as corporations relocate, populations grow and Southern leaders gain more influence in Washington. On today’s episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Politically Georgia podcast, Tia Mitchell and Patricia Murphy speak with Democratic strategist Howard Franklin about his new report, Accelerating South: Risks, Rewards and the Road Ahead. Franklin explains how migration, business investment and a new generation of governors could reshape the region and Georgia’s place within it. The conversation also examines the debate over data center growth, Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens’ second-term priorities and the possibility that Georgia could elect a Democratic governor while Republicans retain control of the General Assembly. Tia and Patricia then assess how Keisha Lance Bottoms and Rick Jackson are repositioning themselves for the general election, and what Democrats still want to see from the Bottoms campaign.
