Hosts Greg Bluestein and Tia Mitchell break down Governor Brian Kemp’s surprise decision to back Derek Dooley, setting off a cascade of political moves, including Mike Collins’ entry into the race and John King’s sudden exit. Then, Greg talks with AJC higher education reporter Jason Armesto about the sweeping changes Georgia colleges face under President Trump’s “big beautiful bill,” from new student loan caps to rising endowment taxes and growing fears among international students.
