Trump reverses course, now calls Brian Kemp “fantastic”

At a campaign stop in Savannah on Tuesday, former President Donald Trump touted his pledge to boost domestic manufacturing by luring foreign companies with tax cuts and the threat of tariffs. On today’s episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Politically Georgia podcast, hosts Bill Nigut, Tia Mitchell and Greg Bluestein talk about Trump’s visit to Savannah yesterday and discusses what led to Trump’s high praise for Governor Brian Kemp. In a visit to the state just seven weeks ago, Trump had harsh words for Kemp, calling him a bad governor. 

Then, as election day approaches, dozens of polls will be released that will purport to give a snapshot of where the race between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump stands. Emory University professor of political science Andra Gillepsie and campaign advertising expert Rick Dent join the podcast to offer insights about how to determine which polls are offering the most accurate picture of where the contest stands.
