Greg Bluestein sits down with Patricia Murphy and former state Sen. Jason Carter to examine how Georgia Democrats are thinking about the governor’s race, Donald Trump’s influence and the party’s path beyond metro Atlanta. Carter explains why he is backing Jason Esteves, what he sees in the crowded Republican field and how Democrats could make gains in the Georgia House. Then Greg speaks with Dr. John Cowan, a Republican running for Georgia’s 11th Congressional District, about his shift from Trump critic to Trump ally, his critique of Marjorie Taylor Greene’s style of politics and his views on health care, tariffs and Iran.
