    Trump’s 2020 election claims return to the center of Georgia’s 2026 races
    Jul 16 2026
    President Donald Trump’s planned White House address is already reshaping Georgia politics before he delivers it. On today’s episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Politically Georgia podcast, Greg Bluestein and Tia Mitchell explain why Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock are mounting a preemptive response and how renewed scrutiny of the 2020 election could complicate the campaigns of Mike Collins and Rick Jackson. They also examine how the Libertarian Party’s failure to qualify statewide candidates makes November runoffs far less likely and changes the strategy for Georgia’s marquee races.

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

    Georgia’s Place in the South’s New Political Power Center
    Jul 15 2026
    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.
