Black Georgia faith leaders stand strongly with Biden

As doubts about whether President Biden can defeat Donald Trump in November, a coalition of prominent Black church leaders issued a ringing endorsement of Biden’s bid for re-election. On today’s episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitutions Politically Georgia podcast, hosts Bill Nigut, Greg Bluestein and Tia Mitchell welcome the leader of the group, Georgia AME Bishop Reginald Jackson. 

Also on the podcast, Donald Trump is expected to name his vice presidential running mate soon. One of the leading contenders is believed to be Ohio Senator J.D. Vance. Georgia Democratic state senator Josh McLaurin remembers a time when, as Vance’s law school roommate, he was privy to Vance’s concerns about Trump’s quest for the White House in 2016. 

Plus, Bluestein, Mitchell and Nigut answer questions from the Politically Georgia mailbag and offer the picks for who is up and who is down this week.
