Services and memorial tributes to Rosalynn Carter begin today

In this episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Politically Georgia podcast, Bill Nigut and Patricia Murphy preview three days of services and memorial tributes to Rosalynn Carter. Two veteran Georgia Journalists talk about their memories of covering Rosalynn and Jimmy Carter, from their days in the governor’s mansion to the White House and to the post-presidency work at the Carter Center. John Pruitt, former WSB-TV reporter and anchor, and Charlie Hayslett, former Atlanta Journal Washington correspondent, join the podcast. 

 

 

Then Eric Tanenblatt, national fundraising chair for GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley talks to the hosts about her rise in the polls in Iowa and New Hampshire and describes how he believes she can wrestle the nomination away from Donald Trump or other Republican candidates. 

 

Plus, Murphy and Nigut look at the recent Georgia Supreme Court ruling which blocks the new GOP-backed state law which created a commission to punish so-called rogue district attorneys.
