Bentley Hudgins, director of the Georgia Human Rights Campaign, and AJC staff writer Maya T. Prabhu discuss the broader impact of the demonization of transgender individuals by Donald Trump's campaign as a weapon against Kamala Harris. And they look at the flap in the U.S. House over which bathroom the first transgender member of Congress should be allowed to use. Plus, they talk about whether any culture wars bills will surface during the legislative session.

Then, the podcast welcomes home former AJC political columnist Jim Galloway to get his perspective on the landscape in Georgia and across the country as Trump prepares for his second term as president. Will Trump win approval for controversial picks for his cabinet?
