NEW EPISODE

Kemp’s State of the State, Senator Colton Moore’s arrest and Georgia’s view on Trump’s return

Governor Brian Kemp made it clear in his State of the State address that his top priority for the 2025 legislative session is passing a bill to limit civil lawsuits and cap massive jury awards. Kemp even hinted he’s prepared to call a special session if lawmakers don’t pass the measure before sine die. On today’s episode of Politically Georgia, hosts Bill Nigut, Tia Mitchell and Greg Bluestein analyze the highlights of Kemp’s speech and what it means for the session ahead.

Before Kemp’s speech, tensions flared when Georgia Senator Colton Moore was blocked from entering the House chamber, leading to a scuffle with House officials and Moore being arrested and led away in handcuffs. We’ll explain what led to the confrontation and its political implications.

Plus, with Washington gearing up for Donald Trump’s second inauguration, we break down the latest exclusive AJC poll results revealing how Georgia voters feel about the president-elect’s return to power.
