The 2026 gubernatorial race is taking shape with confirmed and potential candidates. Rose talks with Atlanta-based political strategist and analyst Fred Hicks about who we could see on the campaign trail. He also shares his thoughts about President Donald Trump’s low approval rating in Georgia.

Plus, Wednesday marks 100 days into President Donald Trump’s second term, and it’s an uncertain time for the free press – especially public media. Concern about partisan oversight by Paramount Global led 60 Minutes executive producer Bill Owens to resign from the news program. Longtime Correspondent Scott Pelley followed that with a rebuke of their parent company. “Closer Look” revisits Rose’s 2019 conversation with Pelley. The award-winning journalist reflected on press freedom, democracy and the role of today’s news outlets.
