Roundtable weighs in on Georgia’s 2026 Electoral Races
About this episode
A political roundtable discusses the chaotic and concerning nature of Georgia's current campaign season as the state approaches the November midterm elections.
Boring, chaotic, concerning — and, in at least one case, described with an expletive after the word “cluster.” Those are some of the ways Georgia’s current campaign season is being characterized as the state heads toward the November midterm elections. That assessment comes from a political roundtable on today’s Closer Look with Rose Scott . The discussion featured Devin Barrington-Ward , a progressive community organizer and managing director of the Black Futurists Group; Greg Bluestein , politics reporter and author with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution ; Fred Hicks , an Atlanta-based campaign strategist and demographer; and Saba Long , executive director of the Atlanta Civic Circle. Each offered insights and observations as the May 19 primary approaches and early voting gets underway. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
