Description

Today on Politically Georgia, two years after Major League Baseball pulled the All-Star game out of Atlanta, the game will return in 2025. If you remember, protests came back in 2021 over Georgia’s then-new voting law, which many saw as discriminating against minority Georgians.
 
Then, the deal to prevent a government shutdown is signed, sealed, and delivered. We recap a whirlwind week in Congress and what it took to get the funding to keep the country open on President Biden’s desk.

And we discuss why one defendant in Fulton County’s election interference case could be thrown into jail.
 
Plus, it’s Friday, which means we answer your questions from the listener mailbag and go through ‘who’s up and who’s down’.
