In this episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Politically Georgia podcast, hosts Greg Bluestein, Patricia Murphy, Tia Mitchell and Bill Nigut discuss the Georgia Supreme Court’s ruling that the state’s current restrictions on abortion will remain in effect.

Plus, a fourth defendant in Fani Willis’ election conspiracy case entered a guilty plea. Attorney Jenna Ellis pleaded guilty to one count of aiding and abetting false statements.

And as Republicans in the U.S. House continue their scramble to elect a speaker, Georgia’s Austin Scott is eliminated from the running. There are continuing questions of whether the GOP conference will find a consensus on a candidate.
