After a revolt in the U.S. House, Speaker Kevin McCarthy loses the gavel. On today’s Politically Georgia podcast from The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, hosts Greg Bluestein, Tia Mitchell, Bill Nigut and Patricia Murphy explain why McCarthy’s ouster leaves Georgia leaders in flux.
Plus, one of the defendants in the Fulton County election interference case has accepted a deal to plead guilty. Learn what this means for the prosecution and other lower-level defendants in the case.
And, you’ll hear what protections civil rights groups and others are calling for as prospective jurors in the Trump RICO case face potential threats from Trump supporters.
