Description
Last week was a busy one in Georgia politics. In this episode, host Greg Bluestein and AJC Washington correspondent Tamar Hallerman discuss Georgia politicians’ response to President Donald Trump’s recent “go back” attacks and provide an update on U.S. Sen. Johnny Isakson (who has been released from the hospital). Hallerman also provides context on why the moment between U.S. Rep. Doug Collins and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi was historic. Bluestein and Hallerman also talk about the growing list of politicians looking to challenge U.S. Sen. David Perdue, with the most recent addition being Clarkston Mayor Ted Terry, and how Terry’s candidacy affects the field of Democratic candidates. Finally, the two discuss how a U.S. House vote to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour could become a 2020 issue in Georgia, and where current candidates stand on the topic.
