The race for Atlanta mayoral is down to two candidates.

In this special edition of the Politically Georgia podcast, Atlanta City Hall reporters Wilborn Nobles III and J.D. Capelouto join host Greg Bluestein to breakdown where the race to become Atlanta’s next mayor stands as the runoff officially begins. They discuss the list of endorsements for Felicia Moore and Andre Dickens, what Dickens will need to do to make up the gap from the general election and why Fulton County’s elections chief thinks last week’s election was “one of the smoothest elections we’ve had.”
