Patricia Murphy is joined by Riley Bunch to break down what stood out from Georgia’s latest primary runoff debates and what the performances could mean ahead of the June 16 election. They discuss Lt. Gov. Burt Jones’ solo appearance at a debate after rival Rick Jackson skipped the event, Jones’ efforts to align himself with Gov. Brian Kemp, and his answers on abortion, redistricting and the aftermath of the 2020 election. Then Patricia highlights key moments from several down-ballot runoff debates, including a heated Democratic lieutenant governor clash between Josh McLaurin and Nabilah Islam Parkes and a substantive Republican showdown between John F. Kennedy and Greg Dolezal.
