Inauguration Day meets MLK Day: Trump’s return and Georgia’s role

On this special edition of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Politically Georgia podcast, hosts Greg Bluestein, Tia Mitchell, Bill Nigut and Patricia Murphy cover the historic convergence of Donald Trump’s return to the White House on the same day as the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.

We discuss what to expect as President-elect Trump begins his term with a series of executive orders, including action on immigration and the expected pardoning of January 6th defendants. We also analyze the Georgians who will serve as key allies, staff, and advisers in Trump’s administration and how prominent Georgia Democrats are preparing to navigate the new political landscape following their November losses.

As a special Politically Georgia podcast bonus, Bill Nigut speaks with Dr. Bernice King, daughter of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., about the significance of this year’s inauguration coinciding with the King holiday and her reflections on her father’s legacy in today’s political climate.
