Tropical Storm Debby’s downpour on Georgia; Election disinformation pushed into Black communities; Harris picks Tim Walz for VP running mate
Tropical Storm Debby’s winds and downpours have left thousands without power and killed a Georgia teenager, as well as four other people in Florida. Georgia could receive an additional eight inches of rain as the storm is expected to hit the state a second time. WABE environment reporter Emily Jones discusses the latest. We also hear from Maria Center, the executive director of the American Red Cross of Southeast Georgia. She talks about how the Red Cross is responding and the need for volunteers.
Plus Esosa Osa, founder and CEO of Onyx Impact discusses a new report that shines a light on how disinformation is being pushed within Black communities online. Osa talks about what stories are gaining the most traction and how those same outlets can wield their influence to stop disinformation.
Lastly, Vice President Kamala Harris has picked Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate. Atlanta-based political strategist Fred Hicks talks with Rose about Harris’ VP pick and how this could impact the 2024 presidential race.
