Lucy McBath makes clear she’s open to the possibility of running for governor

On today’s episode of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Politically Georgia podcast, hosts Bill Nigut, Greg Bluestein and Tia Mitchell talk to Congresswoman Lucy McBath about how she has once again thwarted Republican lawmakers’ efforts to draw district lines that make it difficult for her to win re-election. McBath made it clear on today’s show she’s open to a possible run for governor in 2028.

We also hear from UGA political science professor Audrey Haynes for a discussion on the  political news of the day, including Governor Brian Kemp’s ongoing effort to expand his political base nationally, including a decision to attend the Republican convention this summer.  Plus, is the Katy Stamper, who won the Democratic nomination for the 3rd District congressional seat a true Democrat?
