Kemp adviser says senate race for Kemp in ‘26 isn’t out of the question

On today’s episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Politically Georgia podcast, hosts Greg Bluestein, Patricia Murphy and Bill Nigut sit down with Brian Kemp political adviser Cody Hall to discuss how Kemp may be preparing for his next step in political life. The governor is holding national fundraisers, announces he’ll attend Republican National convention and looks for other opportunities to expand his national profile. 

We also hear from former Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin as she talks about the history of Atlanta’s troubled water system and how she raised $3 billion to make massive repairs to the sewage system during her tenure. 

Plus, hear what Vice President Kamala Harris’ hopes to accomplish when she makes yet another visit to Atlanta this week. And they discuss the factors that are shaping the GOP runoff election for Georgia’s 3rd congressional district.
