What to know about gun violence and crime rates as election issues

On today’s episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Politically Georgia podcast, hosts Bill Nigut and Tia Mitchell bring on AJC crime reporter Caroline Silva who explains what voters need to know about where Donald Trump and Kamala Harris stand on dealing with gun violence and crime. 

  

Then, political advertising expert Rick Dent joins the podcast to look at ad spending in Georgia for the presidential race, and at the messages Harris and Trump are emphasizing in their ads. 

  

Plus, a preview of what to expect in tomorrow night’s presidential debate, and the clues a new NY Times poll might give each candidate about what could be their key talking points.
