Trump returns to his “must-win state” Georgia after long absence

Politically Georgia

Former President Donald Trump is returning to the Georgia today for the first time in nearly two months with a campaign stop in Savannah. On today’s episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Politically Georgia podcast, former Savannah state Senator Eric Johnson joins the podcast to discuss the mood of voters along the Southeast coast as they prepare to vote in the presidential election. They also put Trump’s visit in the context of his recent encouragement of MAGA members of the state election board to pass new rules that could have a major impact in voe counting and certifying by local election officials.

Then, AJC education reporter Martha Dalton joins us as Apalachee High School students return to class today for the first time since a gunman killed four people at the school a little more than two weeks ago.
