Medicaid Expansion Possible in Georgia

First up: With the 2024 session set to start in just three weeks, Republican legislative leaders appear to be poised to push for a full expansion of Medicaid. It’s an idea they’ve resisted for more than a decade. So why could it be happening now? 

  

Then: Funding for Israel and Ukraine continues to be held up as Republicans in congress insist on a border security measure as a condition for the aid. 

  

Plus: Tia Mitchell reports on interview with Vice President Kamala Harris. 

 

And Rudolph Giuliani is unrepentant after verdict ordering him to pay $148 million for defaming Fulton County election workers.
