单集简介 ...

The results are in from Georgia’s Republican primary runoff contests for Senate and governor, and President Trump is one for two — the Senate candidate he backed won, but his gubernatorial pick did not. We discuss the results, plus how conspiracy theories about the 2020 election are still shaping Georgia politics.  This episode: voting correspondent Miles Parks, political reporter Stephen Fowler, and political correspondent Ashley Lopez. This podcast was produced by Bria Suggs and edited by Rachel Baye. Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.
