The winners and losers of Georgia’s runoff elections

Politically Georgia

The Georgia’s primary runoff elections now behind us. On

today’s episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Politically Georgia

podcast, hosts Patricia Murphy and Tia Mitchell look at the winners and losers

of Georgia’s runoffs and talk about what it means as we head into the November

elections.

Republican strategist Stephen Lawson joins the podcast to discuss the

closely watched GOP races in Georgia’s 2nd and 3rd

congressional districts. State Senator

Gloria Butler joins the program to talk about what it means that several

Democratic candidates with support from some of the party’s top leaders lost

their local races.

And later, our hosts discuss former special prosecutor

Nathan Wade’s recent media blitz. Some are speculating that Wade could be

seeking a TV contract, but legal experts tell the AJC that Wade’s media tour

could put what’s left of the Trump election interference case in peril, since

the Court of Appeals is scrutinizing whether his relationship with the DA

should disqualify her from the case.
