Description

Former presidential candidate and former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson previews the New Hampshire primary. Today on The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s “Politically Georgia,” the hosts welcome Hutchinson, who earlier this week ended his long shot bid for the GOP presidential nomination. Hutchinson ran as a mainstream conservative Republican who warned that putting Donald Trump back in the White House would be bad for the country. He dropped out of the race when he finished sixth in the Iowa caucuses and acknowledged that “my message of being a principled Republican with experience and telling the truth about the current front-runner did not sell in Iowa.” 
 
Then, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis filed a fiery motion responding to allegations that she had been in an inappropriate relationship with Nathan Wade, the special prosecutor she hired to oversee the Trump election conspiracy case. Willis attempted to quash a subpoena from Wade’s estranged wife to testify in the couple’s divorce case. Willis says Wade’s wife is trying to derail her prosecution of Trump and his co-conspirators.  
 
Plus, the U.S. House and Senate passed a continuing resolution to keep the government running for another two months. But five Georgia Republicans voted against the measure. Tia Mitchell explains why.
