Going Nuclear on the Constitution

Welcome to The Georgia Politics Podcast! In this week's episode of The Georgia Politics Podcast, host Craig Kidd welcomes Lyndsey Coates and Daelen Lowry for an in-depth conversation on three major political storylines making headlines across the South and beyond. The trio begins with the Georgia governor's race, unpacking the latest campaign developments and candidate strategies. From fundraising battles to grassroots momentum, the discussion covers the dynamics that will define one of the state's most-watched races. Next, the panel turns to former Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan's headline-grabbing decision to switch political parties. What motivated the move, how it's being received by Georgia's political establishment, and what it could signal for the state's shifting political landscape are all on the table. Finally, the conversation moves west to Texas, where lawmakers are engaged in a contentious redistricting effort with potentially far-reaching consequences for both state and national politics. The hosts break down the legal, demographic, and political stakes in one of the nation's most closely watched legislative battles. Packed with sharp analysis, insider perspectives, and spirited debate, this episode offers listeners a clear-eyed look at the forces shaping the political map in Georgia—and beyond.
