Joe Biden announces reelection bid with an eye on Georgia

President Joe Biden announces his reelection campaign four years to the day of his first campaign announcement. In this episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Politically Georgia podcast, AJC political insiders Greg Bluestein and Patricia Murphy talk about the president’s decision to go for four more years, setting the stage for a potential rematch against former President Donald Trump.

Plus, our insiders discuss this week’s media madness. First, the announcement that CNN is parting ways with Don Lemon after 17 years and the news that came out hours later that Fox News host Tucker Carlson would no longer be with the network.

You’ll also hear about the letter Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis sent to local law enforcement which reveals a timetable suggesting indictment announcements in the 2020 election interference probe could be coming this summer.
