Description
Donald Trump has reclaimed the White House and will be sworn in as the 47th president of the United States in January. On today’s episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Politically Georgia podcast, hosts Greg Bluestein, Patricia Murphy, Tia Mitchell, and Bill Nigut examine Trump’s decisive win in Georgia, where he flipped a 2020 defeat into a 100,000-vote victory over Kamala Harris. Election data analyst Ryan Anderson joins us to break down how Trump turned rural counties even redder and why Harris’s support in metro Atlanta couldn’t close the gap.
We’ll also cover Georgia’s congressional races, with all U.S. House incumbents re-elected and Republican Brian Jack winning the open seat in the 3rd District.
Finally, we’ll hear reactions from Georgia GOP chair Josh McKoon and Democratic Party chair Nikema Williams as they reflect on what this election means for their respective parties moving forward.
