“A rigged trial!” “Convicted felon Trump;” two Georgia views of Trump verdict

On the day after a jury delivered 34 counts of felony crime against Donald Trump, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Greg Bluestein and Bill Nigut welcome the leaders of both the Georgia Republican and Democratic parties. Democrat Nikema Williams and Republican Josh McKoon offer their takes on how the Trump verdict is likely to play into the Georgia race between the former president and President Biden. Will it matter at all to voters? Will it be an important factor in a close contest between Trump and Biden? 

  

Plus, the hosts answer questions from the listener mailbag, and give their picks for who’s up and who’s down this week.
