Vice President Kamala Harris chooses Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate in the 2024 presidential election.  On today’s episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Politically Georgia, hosts Greg Bluestein, Patricia Murphy and Bill Nigut look at Harris’ choice of running mate and the official Democratic ticket.

Former Georgia Lt. Governor Geoff Duncan weighs in on the vice presidential picks and he discusses the Georgia GOP effort to drum him out of the Republican Party for his endorsement of Kamala Harris. Duncan also responds to Donald Trump’s attacks on Governor Kemp at a rally in Atlanta last weekend.

Republican House Majority Leader Chuck Efstration joins the podcast to discuss Donald Trump’s chances of winning Georgia, his legislative proposal to address homelessness and more.

And former Atlanta Mayor and Harris ally Kasim Reed enters the discussion on whether the selection of Tim Walz will help Harris’ chances of winning Georgia.
