Will a Georgia Democrat take over MAGA territory in a runoff election for District 14?

About this episode

The episode discusses the upcoming runoff election for Georgia's 14th Congressional District, featuring insights from both Democratic and Republican strategists.

On this week's first edition of Political Breakfast, Democratic strategist Tharon Johnson and Republican strategist Brian Robinson go live with host Lisa Rayam. All have thoughts about the race to represent  Georgia’s 14th Congressional District, formerly held by Marjorie Taylor Greene.  Greene resigned in January after a falling-out with her once-ally, President Donald Trump. The top two candidates in a special election last week are now advancing to an April 7th runoff. One, surprisingly, is a Democrat. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
