Georgians bombarded with campaign ads; Issues for LGBTQ voters

Early voting numbers are soaring in Georgia—and so is the spending on TV ads by both the Harris and Trump campaigns. On today's episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Politically Georgia podcast, hosts Bill Nigut and Tia Mitchell explore the staggering $55 million ad blitz launched by both campaigns in the final stretch before Election Day. Political ad guru Rick Dent joins the podcast to break down the messaging strategies both sides are using to win over Georgia voters. Later, we take a closer look at LGBTQ issues playing a prominent role in the campaign. Jeff Graham, the longtime director of Georgia Equality, offers his perspective on how these issues are shaping campaign strategies and becoming a critical part of the conversation in this battleground state.
