Welcome to The Georgia Politics Podcast! On today's episode, we unpack a whirlwind election week across Georgia and the nation — one that delivered sweeping Democratic victories and set the stage for next year's midterms.
Craig, Lyndsey, and Daelen first break down the stunning Democratic victories in Georgia's Public Service Commission races — the first non-federal statewide wins for the party in over two decades — and what they could mean heading into the 2026 midterms.
From there, the team goes national, unpacking major results across the country: Zohran Mamdani's historic win as New York City's first Muslim and South Asian mayor, Abigail Spanberger's election as Virginia's first female governor, and Mikie Sherrill's decisive win in New Jersey.
Then it's back home for local election highlights: Roswell and Sandy Springs heading to runoffs, Johns Creek's John Bradberry securing another term, and Marietta's razor-thin finish where Steve "Thunder" Tumlin edged out 24-year-old challenger Sam Foster by just 87 votes.
Plus, as always, a round of "Underhyped/Overhyped," and a "Play Along at Home" segment.
