A view from both sides of the political aisle. Plus new allegations mount against Fani Willis

Vice President Kamala Harris touches down in Atlanta today. On this episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's "Politically Georgia" podcast, hosts Patricia Murphy, Bill Nigut and Greg Bluestein talk with Georgia House Majority Leader Chuck Efstration about GOP priorities this session.  

Then, moving to the other side of the political aisle, the podcast welcomes Democratic strategist Justin Kirnon. He discusses the importance of Democrats not only mobilizing Black voters to turn out for President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign but also energizing young voters and others who made up the Biden coalition in 2020. 

Finally, the hosts discuss allegations that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis was romantically involved with the lawyer she hired to prosecute the election conspiracy case against former President Donald Trump. The claims were in a motion filed on behalf of defendant Michael Roman. It asks the court to dismiss charges against Roman and calls for the entire Fulton County DA's team to be disqualified from further prosecution of the case. So far, there’s been no response from Willis or her office.
