Even though it was an off-year election, it offered a lot for The Atlanta-Journal Constitution’s political insiders to learn this week. In this episode of the Politically Georgia podcast, Greg Bluestein and Patricia Murphy examine why election night was “not great” for Democrats in Georgia and nationwide. Plus, how Gov. Brian Kemp is pushing back against President Joe Biden’s vaccine mandate and why Kasim Reed’s comeback bid to become Atlanta’s mayor collapsed.
