    Jones Jumps In
    Jul 10 2025
    Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones has officially entered the race for Georgia governor, backing his Trump-aligned platform with a staggering $14 million war chest. Host Greg Bluestein breaks down how Jones’s campaign could reshape the GOP field and why his proposal to eliminate the state income tax is drawing major attention. Then AJC City Hall reporter Riley Bunch joins the show to explore how Jones’s candidacy could strain relations between the state and the city of Atlanta—including renewed fears of Buckhead cityhood and a state takeover of the airport.

  • Inside the Rush to Pass Trump’s Bill

    Inside the Rush to Pass Trump’s Bill
    Jul 9 2025
    On this Washington Wednesday edition of Politically Georgia, hosts Tia Mitchell and Patricia Murphy are joined by The Washington Post’s Marianna Sotomayor to explain how Congress managed to pass President Donald Trump’s sweeping “big, beautiful bill” by the July 4 deadline—despite serious GOP resistance, long voting standoffs, and some last-minute changes that caught lawmakers by surprise. Then, Tia and Patricia take a closer look at Georgia Congressman Andrew Clyde’s reversal on the bill and what it means for fiscal conservatives. They also examine the political risks Republicans now face as the full scope of the bill’s contents becomes clearer. Have a question or comment for the show?
