Senator Jon Ossoff talks federal prison reform and the Harris-Walz ticket

On today’s episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Politically Georgia podcast, Senator Jon Ossoff joins the AJC’s Tia Mitchell and Bill Nigut to discuss the bill now signed into law that creates an oversight mechanism to monitor federal prisons. The new law is the result of an investigation Ossoff led for some two years, looking into dangerous conditions for both inmates and staff.

Then, Greg Bluestein reports live from Erick Erickson’s Gathering, a national conference of conservative leaders, which features two days of remarks by top Republicans, including Governor Kemp and Georgia attorney general Chris Carr. It will be an opportunity to see whether Kemp has a response to the attacks launched against him by Donald Trump.
