The road to the White House runs through Georgia.

In this episode of the Politically Georgia podcast, hosts Greg Bluestein and Patricia Murphy discuss the state’s role in the 2024 election -- and why some key Republicans see it as a must-win.

We also discuss how Senate hopeful Herschel Walker has all but disappeared from the public eye after losing to U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock. Plus, hear how U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene was admonished by her own party at a committee hearing.

Greg and Patricia answer listener questions from the 24-hour Politically Georgia Podcast Hotline at (770)810-5297. And they have their who’s up and who’s down for the week.
