Georgia Democrats express concern about characterization of Biden as having “diminished faculties” in special counsel report

On today's episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Politically Georgia podcast, the AJC's Tia Mitchell, Bill Nigut, Greg Bluestein and Patricia murphy discuss reaction from Georgia Democrats to special counsel Robert Hur’s characterization of President Joe Biden as having “diminished faculties in advancing age.” Although Hur said Biden wouldn’t face charges for holding on to classified documents, his comments troubled Democrats who worry that the observations about age reinforce those who think he is too old to serve a second term. 

Hear how Lt. Governor Burt Jones is playing a direct role in trying to punish Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis in an exclusive interview with Greg Bluestein. 

Plus, a look at how the U.S. Supreme Court ruling on whether to remove Donald Trump from the Colorado ballot could affect a similar Georgia effort. 

Finally, we answer a question from our listener mailbag, and we have this week's winners and losers in the who’s up and who’s down segment for this week.
