Over the last week, two Black Democratic legislators were expelled from the Tennessee House after a gun protest and then promptly reinstated to their seats. Could something like that happen in Georgia?

In this episode of the Politically Georgia podcast, hosts Greg Bluestein and Patricia Murphy explain how that process would work and discuss the state’s recent history.

Plus, our insiders talk about the backlash against Rep. Mesha Mainor from Democrats who oppose her stances on the school voucher measure and other GOP-backed initiatives.

We answer questions from the listener mailbag and the Politically Georgia Podcast Hotline you can call anytime at (770)810-5297 and we have our who’s up and who’s down for the week.

Cuthbert is the county seat of Randolph County, one of 94 Georgia counties that registered more deaths than births in 2024. The county's hospital closed in 2020, leaving longtime state Rep. Gerald Greene to drivce himself 46 miles to Albany while suffering from a kidney stone recently. (Hyosub Shin/AJC)
