With just a handful of working days left, time is running out for bills to pass in the Legislature. The stakes are even higher as the biennial session wraps up.  

Atlanta Journal-Constitution legislative reporters Maya T. Prabhu and James Salzer join the podcast to look at some of the major bills that are still being debated as the session winds down to a finish. 

 

Emory University law professor Fred Smith discusses what is likely to happen next in the Fulton County election interference case against former President Donald Trump now that Judge Scott Mcfee has ruled District Attorney Fani Willis can remain on the case. McAfee’s condition for her continuing was that Nathan Wade no longer be on the prosecution’s team. He resigned from the case Friday. 

 

Tia Mitchell shares insights from Capitol Hill as a government shutdown looms again.  

 

And U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock is becoming a top surrogate for President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign.
