A debt deal is on the line

A deal to raise the debt limit has passed the U.S. House, but without the support of four Georgia lawmakers. In this episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Politically Georgia podcast, AJC political insiders Greg Bluestein and Patricia Murphy tell you who voted against the bill and why. They will also dig into the Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green factor and how she has become quite an ally for House Speaker Andrew McCarthy.

 

Plus, our insiders explain how next week’s Georgia GOP convention has become full-on MAGA. Hear why former Vice President Mike Pence announced he would no longer attend the convention and who his replacement will be.

 

Greg and Patricia give you their who’s up and who’s down for the week and answer questions from the listener mailbag, which you can now call into. The number for the 24-hour Politically Georgia Podcast Hotline is (404) 526-AJCP (2527). Leave us your question so we can play it back and answer it on next Friday’s episode.
