Georgia Republicans position themselves for the 2026 elections

In this episode of Politically Georgia from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, hosts Greg Bluestein, Patricia Murphy and Bill Nigut look at some of the Georgia Republicans who are already positioning themselves for races in 2026. We also hear from Democratic political consultant Alex Floyd, who two years ago was a top operative for Stacey Abrams but who more recently guided Kentucky governor Andy Beshear to a successful bid for re-election. Floyd describes how Beshear, a Democrat in a deep red state was able to win his race. And he talks about lessons the race might hold for Democrats who run statewide in Georgia in upcoming elections. Plus, at the annual meeting of the Metro Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, Governor Kemp gives his full-throated endorsement of the construction of the controversial Atlanta police and fire training center. He calls it crucial to the economic vitality of the region. Have a question for the show? Call the 24-hour Politically Georgia Podcast Hotline at 404-526-AJCP. That's 404-526-2527.
