'Sorry, Not Sorry' -- What do apology letters from the Fulton case tell us? Plus, a look at the Black vote in 2024

'Sorry, Not Sorry' -- What do apology letters from the Fulton case tell us? Plus, a look at the Black vote in 2024

The hosts start off with another exclusive from The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. We found the apology letters written by two of the attorneys who struck plea agreements in the Fulton County election interference case are just one sentence long and handwritten on lined notebook paper. Then, Georgia U.S. Rep. Drew Ferguson will retire at the end of his term. As his seat is drawn now, his 3rd District is still a GOP stronghold. But Georgia's congressional map is currently under a judge's review. Former 3rd District Republican Lynn Westmoreland offers his insights on the dynamics of the current Congress. Plus, Vice President Kamala Harris announced she'll attend the Celebration Bowl right here in Georgia. Harris will support her alma mater, Howard University, as it faces Florida A&M University in a showdown between two historically Black colleges and universities. But will this help move the political football, as polls suggest the Biden-Harris ticket has to work on consolidating Black voters? Georgia American Civil Liberties Union staffer Chris Bruce gives us some insight.
