Georgia GOP delegates celebrate party unity as Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis address convention

On today's episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Politically Georgia podcast, hosts Patricia Murphy, Greg Bluestein, Tia Mitchell and Bill Nigut recap Day 2 of the Republican National Convention where Donald Trump’s former rival for the GOP nomination took to the stage to endorse him. Nikki Haley said she didn’t agree with Trump all of the time, but called him a far better choice than Joe Biden. Georgia delegates tell Politically Georgia they believe Haley’s endorsement will move Georgians who hadn’t supported Trump into his column.

You'll also hear about Governor Brian Kemp’s busy day in Milwaukee, addressing the Georgia delegation and making the rounds of national media organizations.

And Georgia Republican Congressman Rich McCormick joins the podcast to talk about the selection of JD Vance as Trump’s vice presidential running mate.

Plus: Tia Mitchell talks about a gathering of Black Trump supporters, organized by the Georgia GOP that she attended on Tuesday.
