Why Donald Trump is returning to Georgia

Why Donald Trump is returning to Georgia 

 

Former President Donald Trump will be in Columbus Georgia next month. In this episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Politically Georgia podcast, AJC political insiders Greg Bluestein and Patricia Murphy talk about the announcement that the former president will be attending the Georgia GOP Convention in June, a time close to when the Fulton County District Attorney could be announcing indictments against him. 

Plus, our insiders explain why Governor Brian Kemp is traveling to Israel, and what that says about any possibility of a presidential run. Also, find out about the Governor’s budget cuts and who those cuts have surprised the most. 

Greg and Patricia have their who’s up and who’s down for the week and they answer questions from the listener mailbag, which you can now call into. Leave a question on the 24-hour Politically Georgia Podcast Hotline at (770)810-5297. We’ll play back your question and answer it on next Friday’s episode.
