GOP divides, Latino voter influence and lessons from Election Night

As the dust settles from Election Night, both major parties are grappling with internal shifts, especially those on the political fringes. On today’s episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Politically Georgia podcast, hosts Tia Mitchell and Greg Bluestein speak with former Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan about the future for never-Trump Republicans like him and where they fit into the GOP over the next four years.
