Description

On today's episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's "Politically Georgia" podcast, hosts Bill Nigut and Tia Mitchell welcome the dynamic duo of Brian Robinson and Tharon Johnson.  
First up, Georgia U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene pushed for months to have U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas impeached. Now, she’s succeeded with her goal. Georgia’s delegation was split along party lines with all Republicans in favor and all Democrats opposed. The final vote was 214-213. 
Georgia Republicans in the U.S. House blame Mayorkas for a flood of immigrants at the U.S.-Mexico border. The matter now moves to the Senate, where Democrats hold control of the chamber. So how far can this matter go? 
Meanwhile, Gov. Brian Kemp pledged to send a small contingent of National Guard troops to the Texas border. 
Then, Democrats won a key special congressional election last night in New York. Democrat Tom Suozzi won the seat that had been held by George Santos, making the Republican majority in the House even more fragile. 
And, the State Election Board voted against ending no-excuses absentee voting.
