The leaked draft of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling on abortion is a seismic event in American politics. What does it mean for Georgia?

In this episode of the Politically Georgia podcast, AJC political insiders Greg Bluestein and Patricia Murphy discuss the electoral fallout and why it could upend the 2022 midterms.

Plus, we also look what Donald Trump said at a tele-rally for David Perdue and what it’s like to spend a day on the campaign trail with Marjorie Taylor Greene.
