Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones has officially entered the race for Georgia governor, backing his Trump-aligned platform with a staggering $14 million war chest. Host Greg Bluestein breaks down how Jones’s campaign could reshape the GOP field and why his proposal to eliminate the state income tax is drawing major attention. Then AJC City Hall reporter Riley Bunch joins the show to explore how Jones’s candidacy could strain relations between the state and the city of Atlanta—including renewed fears of Buckhead cityhood and a state takeover of the airport.
