Greg Bluestein and Patricia Murphy break down the increasingly volatile race for second place in Georgia’s governor’s contest, where Democrats are scrambling to emerge as the strongest alternative to Keisha Lance Bottoms and Republicans remain locked in an expensive fight over who can take on Burt Jones. They dig into Michael Thurmond’s pitch to cut the state sales tax, why Jason Esteves may be gaining momentum, and why so many Democratic voters remain undecided just days before the primary. Then Greg and Patricia turn to the Democratic race for lieutenant governor, where Josh McLaurin, Nabilah Islam Parkes and Richard Wright are battling for a job that suddenly carries much higher stakes in Georgia politics. They also discuss why a Democratic win in either race could trigger a major power struggle under the Gold Dome. Have a question or comment for the show?
