‘Politically Georgia’ looks at two open congressional seats

Georgia has four open U.S. House seats heading into the 2026 midterm elections, and Atlanta Journal-Constitution senior political reporter Greg Bluestein and AJC Washington bureau chief Tia Mitchell discuss two of them in the latest episode of the “Politically Georgia” podcast.

U.S. Rep. Barry Loudermilk’s decision not to seek reelection has led to behind-the-scenes maneuvering in a safely Republican district that spans much of Atlanta’s northwest suburbs.

Bluestein and Mitchell also look at northwest Georgia’s 14th District, where President Donald Trump’s endorsement has upended a crowded special election to replace former U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, and what the broader turnover could mean for Georgia’s delegation.
