A new chapter for the ‘Politically Georgia’ podcast, and more

Today’s episode of the AJC’s “Politically Georgia” podcast features a conversation about former U.S. Sen. Kelly Loeffler and the latest from the Georgia State Capitol as the General Assembly counts down to Crossover Day. Hosts Greg Bluestein, Tia Mitchell and Patricia Murphy also discuss what’s ahead for the “Politically Georgia” podcast.

Loeffler was confirmed recently as the 28th administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration, an agency charged with distributing billions of dollars in loans, as well as providing counseling and regulatory support, for small businesses.

Meanwhile, the Georgia General Assembly is getting ready for Crossover Day, the day bills pass from one chamber to another. If a bill doesn’t move forward, it’s effectively dead for the session.

It’s not just lawmakers in Georgia facing deadlines. Congress has until March 14 to avoid another another government shutdown, while President Donald Trump addresses a joint session of Congress.
