The Georgia Politics Podcast

Welcome to The Georgia Politics Podcast! The big news this week is that the first Biden/Trump debate will be in Atlanta, but we’ve got a lot more than that for you. Buckle in! Joe Biden and Donald Trump have agreed to a June 27 debate hosted by CNN here in Atlanta. First of all, how strange is it to have a debate before the candidates go through their conventions? The Georgia Republican Party has removed First Vice Chair Brian Pritchard after an administrative law judge found he voted illegally nine times after moving to the state. The state Republican Committee voted 146-24 on Friday to remove him. Chairman Josh McKoon is chalking it up as a victory for election integrity. Former congressman John Barrow has turned some heads with his race for the Supreme Court, making the race explicitly about protecting abortion. He is challenging incumbent Justice Andrew Pinson and Gov. Brian Kemp has committed $500,000 from his leadership committee in support of Pinson.  Races We’re Watching, Underhyped/Overhyped, Play Al
