The ‘Politically Georgia’ team worked overnight to break down the CNN presidential debate in Atlanta.

In a special episode late Thursday, hosts Greg Bluestein and Patricia Murphy offered instant analysis of the debate and its potential to change the trajectory of the race.

Host and Washington correspondent Tia Mitchell talked to Donald Trump campaign political operative Brian Hughes and Democratic strategist and activist Chris Bruce on the spin room floor.

On Friday, host Bill Nigut walked the team through key moments.

President Biden’s weak performance set off alarms among Democrats who worry voters may have concluded that Biden is unfit to serve another term.

Meanwhile, Trump ignored questions from the moderators, attacked Biden relentlessly and lied about both his and Biden’s record in office throughout the debate.

Monday on ‘Politically Georgia’: Agriculture Commissioner and Republican Tyler Harper joins us to discuss Trump’s performance.
