Description

On today's episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s "Politically Georgia", hosts Greg Bluestein, Tia Mitchell and Bill Nigut talk to their editor-in-chief, Leroy Chapman.  
First up, they get Chapman’s take on the South Carolina primary. He walks us through where Democrats and Republicans stand as a native of the Palmetto State.  
  
Then, the crew pivots to the Legislature as a bill condemning antisemitism passes in both chambers. The trio also talks about the renewed effort to legalize sports betting.  
  
And, a conversation with the longest-serving Hispanic legislator in the Georgia Assembly, Pedro Marin. Marin announced that he will retire after 22 years under the Gold Dome.  
  
Plus, it’s Friday, so we spend time answering your questions from the viewer mailbag.
