Clyburn’s Lessons from History and Raffensperger’s Vision for Georgia

AJC Editor-in-Chief Leroy Chapman for a wide-ranging conversation with Congressman James Clyburn of South Carolina. They discuss the House vote to release the Epstein files and why Clyburn believes Republicans used the overwhelming support as a procedural tactic, his view of Marjorie Taylor Greene’s public break with President Trump, and why he still sees room for bipartisanship despite deep divisions in Washington. Clyburn also talks about the history behind his new book, The First Eight, and the Reconstruction-era Black lawmakers who paved the way for his own career in Congress.

Then Politically Georgia’s Candidate Forum series continues with Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, who outlines his campaign for governor. Raffensperger talks about affordability, job creation, and property taxes, and addresses the enduring influence of Donald Trump on Georgia Republicans. He also explains why he believes his record on elections, public safety, and economic development makes him the Republican best positioned to lead the state forward.
