House Speaker Jon Burns gives insight on special re-districting session, 2024 agenda

Today on Politically Georgia, lawmakers are heading back to the capitol after a judge directs them to re-draw districts to better represent Black voters. Hosts Greg Bluestein, Tia Mitchell, Patricia Murphy, and Bill Nigut talk to Georgia Speaker of the House Jon Burns about what to expect from that special session. 

Plus, Speaker Burns talks on whether he’ll take up measures to expand Georgia’s abortion law. 

And later, a conversation with CNN political director David Chalian about Georgia’s role as a battleground state in the 2024 election cycle.

But first, Governor Kemp reaffirms his unwavering support for Israel in its war with Hamas after an emotional meeting with Israelis grieving the unknown fate of relatives being held hostage in Gaza.
