Georgia Senate Scramble - Who Runs without Kemp?

Governor Brian Kemp’s decision not to run for U.S. Senate sets off a political scramble in Georgia. On today’s episode of Politically Georgia, hosts Patricia Murphy, Tia Mitchell, and Greg Bluestein break down the ripple effects of Kemp’s announcement, including who’s angling to take his place on the 2026 ballot. Plus, they look at Senator Raphael Warnock’s Atlanta town hall, where he tackled questions on tariffs, DOGE cuts, and the Middle East — and how his style stacks up against Ossoff and Marjorie Taylor Greene.
