Trump’s impact on Georgia, Senate budget cuts and Kemp’s relationship with the White House

It has been 30 days since President Donald Trump returned to the Oval Office. On today’s episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Politically Georgia podcast, hosts Patricia Murphy and Greg Bluestein examine how his policies have already shaped Georgia’s political and economic landscape.

Then, we speak with Georgia Senate President Pro Tem John Kennedy, who is co-sponsoring a bill modeled after the Trump administration’s federal budget-cutting efforts. Kennedy explains why he believes Georgia should follow Washington’s lead.

Next, we turn to Governor Brian Kemp’s top advisor, Cody Hall, who gives us insight into the governor’s relationship with Trump after the White House denied Kemp’s request to extend the deadline for Hurricane Helene aid.

And in Washington, former Georgia Senator Kelly Loeffler has officially secured her place in Trump’s cabinet as the head of the Small Business Administration. We’ll break down the confirmation process and how her role could impact Georgia’s economy.
