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.

PLUS: the Graham "pleasure-givers" start speaking up & the subtleties of KLB's 'black' sales pitchSocial media was abuzz last night and into the morning that a planned address to the nation Thursday by the President was going to include salacious allegations that the elections of both Senators Jon Ossoff and Rev. Raphael Warnock were illegitimate.' The White House (somewhat) walked back those rumors, but it still drew rebukes from both Ossoff and Warnock. Meanwhile, after we (and many others) discussed the potential for a Warnock Presidential run in 2028, it's notable that not only has Rev. Senator Warnock gotten two "affordability" bills passed and made into law (the $35 insulin cap being a big one), his bill capping home ownership by private equity firms not only became law, it did so without the signature of President Donald Trump. That's right - Senator Warnock got his bill through Congress while Trump keeps flailing on his voter suppression bill. Who's got more sway in the Beltway these days, then, hmm?- - - Progressive podcaster Keith Edwards brought the world's attention to the first voices of those hired to bring "pleasure" to former Senator Lindsey Graham on his podcast, but he also stated - more eloquently than I could, frankly - why he, too, being a gay man, took issue with Graham's hypocrisies. - - - Lastly, a (gift link) good piece by Greg Bluestein at the AJC noting the differences between the campaigns of Stacey Abrams and Keisha Lance Bottoms despite both having glass ceilings to shatter in being Georgia's first female and black (plus female AND black) governor. Bottoms' more subtle tone vs Abrams' more vocal tenor is - if nothing else - noteworthy.

Scot Turner and Buzz Brockway are back with a packed Peach Pundit Podcast covering Georgia politics, the U.S. Senate race, election investigations, privacy, policing, and a Fourth of July weekend that nearly broke Delta. The show opens with Scot's trip to Washington, D.C. for America's 250th birthday celebration, Buzz's Peachtree Road Race recap, and the patriotic highs and travel-delay lows of Independence Day weekend. Then the conversation turns serious as Scot and Buzz discuss Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock finally calling on Graham Platner to drop out of the Maine U.S. Senate race after new allegations and renewed scrutiny over his Nazi tattoo. Back in Georgia, they break down the first general-election polling in the governor's race and U.S. Senate race, including Rick Jackson vs. Keisha Lance Bottoms, Mike Collins vs. Jon Ossoff, ticket-splitting, voter enthusiasm, and why inflation and high prices remain the dominant issue for Georgia voters. Scot and Buzz also dig into the growing controversy over Flock cameras and automated license plate readers after a series of arrests involving law enforcement officers accused of misusing license plate data. As former co-sponsors of Georgia's 2018 license plate reader privacy law, they debate the value of the technology, the dangers of government surveillance, and whether stronger criminal penalties and guardrails are now needed. Then they turn to the FBI's renewed review of Fulton County's 2020 election records, the continuing obsession with relitigating 2020, and why the politics of election denial could hurt Republicans who need to focus on affordability, public safety, and the races actually on the ballot in November. Finally, they discuss HB 295, a new Georgia law allowing property owners to seek compensation from local governments for certain patterns of non-enforcement and public nuisance, including illegal camping, obstruction, shoplifting, drug use, public intoxication, and other quality-of-life issues. In this episode: Jon Ossoff, Raphael Warnock, Graham Platner, and the Maine U.S. Senate race Nazi tattoos, candidate scandals, and political hypocrisy Georgia polling: Rick Jackson vs. Keisha Lance Bottoms Georgia U.S. Senate polling: Mike Collins vs. Jon Ossoff Inflation, health care costs, and the issues Georgia voters care about most Flock cameras, license plate readers, and police misuse of surveillance data Georgia's 2018 license plate reader privacy law The FBI, Fulton County, and the 2020 election investigation Why relitigating 2020 could distract Republicans in 2026 HB 295 and local-government liability for non-enforcement Fourth of July in Washington, D.C., the Peachtree Road Race, and Delta travel chaos Peach Pundit Podcast is Georgia's conversation about politics, elections, campaigns, public policy, and the people shaping the Peach State.

Greg Bluestein breaks down three Supreme Court rulings that could shape Georgia's 2026 elections, including new campaign finance rules, the fight over birthright citizenship and laws banning transgender female athletes from girls and women's sports. He explains how the campaign finance decision could help Mike Collins narrow Jon Ossoff's fundraising advantage with support from the Republican National Committee. Greg also looks at how Ossoff and Keisha Lance Bottoms are sharpening their joint campaign message, while Republicans focus on Bottoms' record as Atlanta mayor and public safety.

America turns 250, and Georgia politics is not taking the holiday week off. Scot Turner and Buzz Brockway break down the latest in the Georgia governor's race, including Rick Jackson's push for Republican unity, the lingering divide with Burt Jones, Shelley Winter's endorsement, and the Jackson campaign's increasingly sharp social-media game against Keisha Lance Bottoms. They also revisit the Georgia special session and Scot's conversation with Lt. Gov. nominee Greg Dolezal about the election-bill compromise, Senate negotiations, and how quickly assumptions can change under the Gold Dome. Then, the conversation turns to Jon Ossoff's opening attack on Mike Collins over former chief of staff Brandon Phillips, whether that message will stick with voters, and the broader fight for Georgia's U.S. Senate seat. Finally, Scot and Buzz dig into the biggest recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions through a Georgia lens: campaign-finance coordination, the future of Georgia political parties and PACs, girls' sports and the Riley Gaines Act, absentee ballots received after Election Day, UOCAVA ballots, and the ongoing debate over birthright citizenship. In this episode: Rick Jackson, Burt Jones, Keisha Lance Bottoms, and Georgia GOP unity Shelley Winter endorses Rick Jackson Greg Dolezal and the special-session election bill Jon Ossoff's attack on Mike Collins and Brandon Phillips Brian Kemp's suspensions of Georgia sheriffs NRSC v.

...plus the Georgia GOP no-show rodeo & a Wynter-y cold endorsement leaves Mike Collins frozen out.The special session Governor Brian Kemp commanded out of the state legislature didn't yield much for his party (no redrawn maps, no property tax cuts passed onto consumers' sales taxes) but it did yield a mess of an election bill he'll have to sign (we're guessing) to address the looming QR code deadline: according to Marilyn Marks with the Coalition for Good Governance, the bill accidentally mandates razor-thin election margins, the way it's written. Oof. She joined me to explain. - - - Meanwhile, it's officially "general election season" for the 2026 calendar so focus will turn to Rick Jackson v Keisha Lance Bottoms, with statements made by Jackson at an event with a radical anti-abortion voter raising eyebrows. In the comments, he seems to co-sign on eliminating exclusions for incest and rape. - or at least creating new barriers to those exceptions being available to women who learn they're pregnant on or after the six-week ban in Georgia would occur. His being poor at thinking on his feet (there and in a prior televised debate) is likely one reason why Democratic nominee Keisha Lance Bottoms is challenging Jackson to no less than three one-on-one forums. ---The alleged killer who stabbed a MARTA passenger weeks ago may receive the death penalty, according to a federal grand jury, writes Rosie Manins at the Atlanta Journal Constitution. That's the story anti-transit, anti-urban folks want you to focus on, and not the fact that MARTA has adequately absorbed twice the usual ridership during the World Cup while running on-time and without incident. All that just proving that a little influx of state and federal support makes MARTA run "smarta."- - - As if there isn't enough to embarrass any Republican with self-awareness, a Georgia GOP rodeo drew "tens" of people (my guess-estimate when you don't count candidates and their surrogates). HA!- - - One more, though! Atlanta-based conservative talk radio host Shelley Wynter (WSB A/FM) had Senator Jon Ossoff on recently - and endorsed the incumbent Senator! Hear the exchange:

Georgia's Republican primary runoffs are over, but the political consequences are only beginning. Scot Turner and Buzz Brockway break down Rick Jackson's win in the Georgia governor's race, what Brian Kemp's late endorsement of Burt Jones did to the final vote, and why the Georgia Republican Party now has some work to do before November. They also look at Mike Collins's Senate victory, Donald Trump's endorsement, Greg Dolezal, Tim Fleming, and what the new Republican ticket means for Jon Ossoff, Keisha Lance Bottoms, and the statewide races ahead. Then, the conversation turns to the Georgia General Assembly's special session: SB 189, the QR-code voting deadline, election administration, and why redistricting did not become part of the agenda. Finally, Scot makes the case that Georgia's runoff system encourages expensive, divisive campaigns and explains why ranked-choice voting would change the incentives for candidates and voters alike.

Donald Trump's sycophantic FBI director, Kash Patel, has reportedly caused a rift between the FBI and the Secret Service for impulsively posting to social media about an investigation that was still ongoing, part of a pattern of Patel being unable to restrain himself. Patel's embarrassment comes as he is newly accused of making payouts to his inner circle from a taxpayer funded slush fund. Senator Adam Schiff joins Jen Psaki to discuss. As Republican candidates wrestle over who can be Trumpier than the other, Democratic candidates are focused on the issues that matter to voters. Keisha Lance Bottoms, Democratic candidate for governor of Georgia, talks with Jen Psaki about the asymmetry of the election and why it's important to have reasonable people in leadership positions in the age of Trump.

Greg Bluestein hosts a special edition of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Politically Georgia podcast with Tia Mitchell and Patricia Murphy after Georgia's primary runoff elections delivered two major Republican verdicts. Rick Jackson defeated Lt. Gov. Burt Jones in the GOP race for governor despite late support from Donald Trump and Brian Kemp, while Mike Collins beat Derek Dooley in the Senate runoff after Trump backed Collins and Kemp helped build Dooley's campaign. The episode looks at what the results say about Kemp's political machine, Trump's uneven influence, Republican unity and the general election fights ahead against Keisha Lance Bottoms and Jon Ossoff. Greg, Tia and Patricia also break down key down-ballot races and the uncertain future of redistricting in a special legislative session. Have a question or comment for the show?

Greg Bluestein and Tia Mitchell take on listener questions ahead of Georgia's upcoming runoffs and a special legislative session.

Greg and Tia also weigh in on Keisha Lance Bottoms and Jon Ossoff's early joint campaigning, what the black women's vote actually delivered for Stacey Abrams in 2018, and how Georgia's leadership committee fundraising law created a money advantage that's still generating legal fights this cycle.

First, with the loss of Atlanta Civic Circle, a reminder that local journalism, local podcasting, local "scrutinizers" are in short supply even in a big city, and this economy and constantly altering landscape in news and content delivery don't make it any easier.That's why I chose to divulge that my personal income situation necessitates me taking a job that'll ensure a more stable income for me; but the hope is I'll be able to figure the schedule to keep doing this show. So with that ...- - - Despite crime data showing violent crime is down both in Atlanta and where MARTA police has jurisdiction, two prominent incidents - a violent stabbing murder and a gang-related shooting - has passengers on edge and dubious right wing politicians looking to capitalize. Burt Jones, for example, has spouted off a time or two on social media - even tying Keisha Lance Bottoms to MARTA - while offering nothing to actually solve what ails MARTA. That's the GOP for you, though: never solutions, just band aids with badges. AJC op/ed writer David Plazas wrote on the MARTA situation - from the standpoint of someone who enjoys using it frequently. Like the rest of us, he wants MARTA to succeed and to be better. - - - Another situation where the city's mass transit needs are being awfully bungled: the Atlanta Beltline that now has autonomous vehicles connecting patrons to the southwest portion of the trail via "ATL Spoke." One problem: a study touting its use was biased according to a filed complaint.Sara Gregory's thorough piece in the AJC offers a LOT of smoke that may well lead to a roaring fire of corruption.

Keisha Lance Bottoms has served as senior advisor to former President Joe Biden, leading the transformation of the White House Office of Public Engagement, and acting as a liaison and media surrogate. Before joining the White House, she worked with CNN as a political commentator based in Atlanta, Georgia, where she served in all three branches of government, as judge, council member, and mayor. She is now running for governor and recently released her new memoir, The Rough Side of the Mountain.

This week on Political Breakfast, we're talking about party unity, and endorsements pouring-in as the dust settles from Georgia's May primary elections. U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff and Georgia's Democratic gubernatorial candidate, Keisha Lance Bottoms, are joining forces ahead of the general election in November. Is the entire Democratic base united to support the former Atlanta Mayor? If elected, Bottoms would become the first Black woman to take the state's highest office. On the Republican side, unity is dicey. That's as political outsider and billionaire healthcare CEO Rick Jackson and current Lt. Gov. Burt Jones prepare for a June 16th runoff. The winner with face Bottoms in November. Democratic strategist Tharon Johnson, Republican strategist Brian Robinson and host Lisa Rayam break all this down. Plus, Republicans are now having mixed feelings about redrawing Georgia's district lines. And Georgia's gas tax suspension has ended. Now Georgians are rushing to fill up their tanks, before those prices at the pumps creep-up. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

My conversation today was heard by hundreds or thousands on Georgia NOW & Progressive Voices, but truly, it was meant for an audience of one - former Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, who's now the Democratic Party nominee for Governor of Georgia.MARTA's a PR disaster. A ghoulish, murderous stabbing of a grandmother. New trains (again) delayed prior to the FIFA World Cup. "More MARTA" underwhelming the voters that supported it.The Atlanta Beltline is falling further and further from its intention to alleviate in-city gridlock and offer easier mobility from Atlanta's historic neighborhoods as resistance to the rail element continues to build clout. Why not take a page from the Georgia GOP, circa 2020-21, and call for a state takeover of MARTA the way they salivated over wresting the airport from the city? As Atlanta's former mayor, you have your fingerprints on the Beltline project and can't possibly agree with Cox Enterprises CEO Alex Taylor who's joined the NIMBYs and Eastside trail business folks who now don't want the crucial rail element at all anymore, now, can you? Transit ... mobility ... not just for Atlanta in-city, but the metropolitan area and - dare I say - the state (that's home to the world's busiest airport and has feeder airports inexplicably flying people in small numbers at exorbitant fares) should be a top-of-mind conversation for an aspirational gubernatorial candidate. Heck, talk Delta into a public-private partnership. There's precedence for this in Canada. It makes good business sense for Delta, because it clearly did so for Air Canada, too. While the two GOP candidates try to out "tax cut" one another while also slinging mud to and fro, wouldn't be refreshing for the Democratic gubernatorial candidate to counter with something vastly more impactful?I mean a $1000 break here or there is fine, I guess. Not life changing. Reducing commute times, an affordable, swift means to connect to the world's busiest airport from Athens, Augusta, Columbus, Macon & Savannah - all of which makes it viable for people to live just about wherever they want in the state where they can find more affordable housing; that's what would positively impact the lives of so many Georgians.Mrs. Bottoms, you should pronounce to voters that you'll be governor who connects the state. Be the "mobility governor."It's there waiting for someone to grasp. Grasp it.

In today's episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast, Ben, Brett and Jordy discuss the latest breaking political developments. Iranian media says the regime has suspended nuclear talks with Trump and is alleging ceasefire violations. Back home, Congress returns and deals Trump a significant blow by blocking his controversial slush fund, as Trump reportedly is set to abandon it entirely. Meanwhile, his Freedom 250 concert event has been essentially cancelled and the UFC fight he was counting on is heading toward disaster. Trump dumped his physical exam results late Friday night at 11 PM, raising more questions than answers. And major developments out of Georgia as Jon Ossoff and Keisha Lance Bottoms showcase what the future leadership of the Democratic Party may look like.

Last Thursday, WXIA-TV's Doug Richards reported on findings that showed a bit of a taxpayer cash corruption loop showing itself between Governor Brian Kemp and the Dooley family, where Brine influenced upwards of $27 million in school safety contracts, taking donations from Daniel Dooley and funneling it back to Daniel's brother Derek Dooley's Senate campaign. Meanwhile, Mike Collins had to cut ties (finally!) with Congressional staffer and campaign manager Brandon Phillips after a social media comment calling a Dooley staffer "Matt Lauer's sloppy seconds" and “a Yankee with poor judgment in women and GA politics.” That Dooley staffer - Brooke Nevils, came forward recently alleging being raped by former the former NBC and TODAY show host Matt Lauer and revealed attempting suicide afterwards.I mean, sure it's low, but Phillips LIVES "low." As Patricia Murphy pointed out in her AJC op/ed, Phillips has been involved in bar fights and dog-kicking allegations. He's scum, but he's popular GOP scum, having ties to GOP gubernatorial hopeful Rick Jackson and Rep. Clay Fuller from Georgia's 14th Congressional district, along with lieutenant gubernatorial hopeful Sen. Greg Dolezal. Meanwhile, the joint campaign appearance with former Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms and Senator Jon Ossoff stood in stark contrast at the Tabernacle Sunday, giving both candidates an opportunity to tee off on those scandals and on the current state ot Trump 2.0. I have both speeches in the show to review.

Greg Bluestein hosts with Patricia Murphy and Tia Mitchell for a listener-driven episode on Georgia's shifting political coalitions. They examine how Democratic and Republican bases have changed since 2020, why Jon Ossoff and Keisha Lance Bottoms are already campaigning in tandem, and how Black women voters continue to shape Democratic politics in Georgia. They also explain the fight over Georgia's election “bunker,” the debate over ranked choice voting, and whether Republican runoffs could help or hurt the party heading into November.

A large chunk of undecided Georgia voters showed up to the polls on Tuesday, and completely changed the game.

She's now free to focus on the November general election, where she'll face the GOP nominee. On the Republican side, billionaire businessman and healthcare CEO Rick Jackson and Lt. Governor Burt Jones will head to a June runoff election. Democratic strategist Tharon Johnson and Republican strategist Brian Robinson both share more insight on the bloodbath ahead with host Lisa Rayam.

Add in the ongoing chaos surrounding Iran policy, and a lot of people are asking the same question: how much more instability can the country take? And then there's Trump himself. After another round of rambling public remarks today, concerns about his behavior and mental sharpness are once again dominating conversation online and across the political world.
