Atlanta set stage for showdown between Harris and Trump in Philadelphia tonight

Democrat Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump take the stage tonight in Philadelphia for the first and likely only presidential debate this election cycle. On today’s episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Politically Georgia podcast, hosts Patricia Murphy, Greg Bluestein and Bill Nigut preview tonight’s debate with Kamala Harris surrogate and former Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, Georgia state GOP chairman Josh McKoon. 

The hosts discuss what leading Georgia Democrats and Republicans are hopeful will happen as their candidates take the presidential debate stage tonight. What suggestions do they offer for how Donald Trump and Kamala Harris can each score points. 

Plus, hear a discussion on an article on the AJC website by Greg Bluestein and AJC election reporter Mark Niesse which reveals that a majority of Georgia U.S. House Republicans continue to promote that false narrative that the 2020 election was stolen.
