About this episode

George Chidi discusses the 2026 Georgia Democratic primary and its implications, including personal ties to a significant wrongful death case.

Atlanta-based journalist George Chidi ( The Atlanta Objective , The Guardian ) penned a thorough Substack piece taking a deep dive into the 2026 Georgia Democratic primary - going way down the ballot to give voters as much information as needed. Plus, hear how he's intrinsically tied to the death of Secoriea Turner and how that still affects him to this day, and what that wrongful death case could mean to the Keisha Lance Bottoms campaign. Now that we know the results, it's kind of fun to listen back to, I suppose. Please do!
