Former President Trump says 'There will be no third debate'

On today’s episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Politically Georgia podcast, hosts Greg Bluestein and Tia Mitchell react to the new development that former President Donald Trump announced he won’t participate in a third presidential debate. They ask U.S. Rep. Ro Khanna, a surrogate for Vice President Kamala Harris, about Trump declining to debate again. They also ask Khanna about the campaigning he’ll do for Harris in Gwinnett County. Then, they ask conservative AJC contributor Meagan Hansen about the latest with the Georgia GOP. Hansen discusses House Speaker Jon Burns' gun safety proposal and Gov. Brian Kemp saying now is not the time for new policy. Plus, it’s Friday, so we answer your listener mailbag questions and go through picks of who’s up and who’s down.
