Democrats and Republicans on Tim Walz: An All-American guy…or the most radical candidate Harris could have picked

Vice President Kamala Harris holds her first rally with her new running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. On today’s episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Politically Georgia podcast, hosts Bill Nigut and Tia Mitchell talk with Democratic DeKalb County CEO Michael Thurmond about the roll out of the Kamala Harris/Tim Walz ticket at a rally in Philadelphia.  Thurmond weighs in, too, on the decision by state school superintendent Richard Woods to reject certifying the new African American studies Advanced Placement curriculum for Georgia schools.

Then, election law expert and state Representative Saira Draper responds to the state election board’s vote to add a rule that could slow down or block local election officials from certifying the results of elections.
