Greg Bluestein and Patricia Murphy look back at the questions they thought would define Georgia politics in 2025 and how events actually unfolded. They examine Donald Trump’s renewed influence on the state, from federal policy shifts to actions at the Capitol, and the political fallout from the collapse of the Fulton County election interference case. The episode also looks ahead to 2026, including Governor Brian Kemp’s decision not to run for U.S. Senate, the crowded Republican field that followed, and why Democrats see new opportunities heading into the next election cycle.
