Savannah Alderman Kesha Gibson-Carter campaigned against Savannah Mayor Van Johnson for almost two years, swamping social media with criticism of the incumbent and even organizing protests at his events.
It didn’t matter. Johnson scored an easy reelection victory Tuesday in a race that could set him up for a statewide run in 2026. On Tuesday’s edition of the Politically Georgia on WABE, the team discusses Johnson’s future ahead of his decisive win.
They’re joined by veteran Republican strategist Stephen Lawson, who argues that GOP politicians who don’t take a more “empathetic” approach to abortion rights will continue to suffer at the polls.
Plus, the team discusses why Republican Rep. Rich McCormick is leading the charge to censure Democratic U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib over her sharp criticism of Israel.
