The Georgia Republican Party wraps up its state convention this weekend in Columbus, Georgia. In this special edition of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Politically Georgia podcast, AJC political insiders Greg Bluestein and Patricia Murphy take you inside the Columbus Convention and Trade Center as the state GOP debates over the party’s future.

Former President Donald Trump makes his first appearance in Georgia at this weekend’s convention since launching his comeback bid, delivering slashing defenses against his federal indictment and his potential indictment from Fulton County prosecutors for attempting to overturn the 2020 presidential results in Georgia.

Plus, our insiders bring you key moments from speeches from Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones and Friday’s keynote speaker Kari Lake. You’ll also hear from members of the Georgia delegation, top party officials, and grassroots activists.
