Description

Today on The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s “Politically Georgia,"  the podcast welcomes state Rep. Esther Panitch. She was a co-sponsor of the measure that created a legal definition for antisemitism, which would enshrine it as part of the state’s hate crimes law. After Pantich worked two years on the bill, it passed and was signed into law this week by Gov. Brian Kemp. 
  
Then, a conversation with new The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Macon Bureau Chief Joe Kovac Jr., who was the only reporter in the home of the parents of Kennedy Sanders, one of the three Georgia Army reservists killed by a drone attack in Jordan, when they received an emotional phone call from President Joe Biden. 
 
Plus, South Carolina Democrats go to the polls to vote in their presidential primary. The hosts describe it as an imperfect test of Biden’s ability to turn out the coalition of voters who put him in the White House. 
 
Finally, the hosts answer questions from the listener mailbag and name their choices for who’s up and who’s down this week.
