Fact Checking the attacks and claims the Trump and Harris campaigns are making on immigration

On today’s episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Politically Georgia podcast, prominent Georgia immigration attorney Charles Kuck joins the AJC’s Bill Nigut and Tia Mitchell to fact check claims being made by both the Trump and Harris campaigns about the crisis at the southern border.

But first, Rep. Sanford Bishop joins the podcast to discuss Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz’s voting record and ability to work across the aisle during Walz’s six terms in the U.S. House.

Plus, Tia and Bill discuss news about the upcoming Democratic convention in Chicago, including the announcement that Jimmy Carter’s grandson Jason has been chosen to give a speech at the convention. Other Georgia Democrats are likely to have speaking roles, too.
