How a Red State Quietly Starts Turning Blue


Listen Later

Across Georgia, dozens of races have no Democrat on the ballot at all. Bob Herndon is out to change that—one unwinnable district at a time.

In 2022, 51 Republicans in the Georgia state house ran completely unopposed. This cycle, Fighting 50 cut that number to 22. Executive Director Bob Herndon sits down with Mike to explain how a group that started with five people on a Zoom call now backs 70 candidates—and just notched its first win when Eric Gissler flipped a red seat by 289 votes.

We get into the detention center with no water, the candidates using "states' rights" against the people who coined it, the special election in Marjorie Taylor Greene's backyard, and why a guy who got arrested by his own party might be the best thing to happen to Georgia Democrats.

If you've ever been told your vote doesn't matter, this one's for you.
