Fulton conspiracy case Judge Scott McAfee Trump case faces challenger in his re-election bid

Today on The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Politically Georgia Podcast, hosts Bill Nigut and Greg Bluestein are joined by AP politics reporter Meg Kinnard and top Georgia Nikki Haley supporter Eric Tanenblatt to discuss how Donald Trump President Biden will work to attract Haley supporters now that she’s dropped out of the race. Then, they look at what to expect when both Trump and Biden both go head-to-head in rallies in Georgia on Saturday. 

  

Plus, AJC reporter Tamar Hallerman joins the podcast to discuss the latest developments in the effort to disqualify Fani Willis and Nathan Wade from prosecuting the Trump Georgia election conspiracy case. She and Greg Bluestein talk about their major scoop: Judge Scott McAfee has drawn a serious opponent in his bid for election to the Fulton County bench. They also discuss defense attorney Ashley Merchant’s testimony on her evidence for why Willis and Wade should be dismissed from prosecuting Trump case.
